Brief Summary: The major obstacle of the long- termed success of percutaneous coronary intervention PCI is the restenosis Restenosis results from complex pathophysiological response of the vascular tissue to the balloon injury In the pre-stent era 80 of it was attributed to vascular recoil However by way of the mechanical support of metallic stent recoil is no more the major reason of restenosis About 80 of In-stent restenosis resulted from intimal hyperplasia

The mechanism of the Intra-stent restenosis included 4 stages First stage comprised the first 3 days after balloon injury when the inflammatory reaction is most severe throughout the course At that time anti-inflammatory drug as steroid wuold be helpful to prevent the course of restenosis Until the end of the third week smooth muscle cells migrate and then proliferate in the second and the third stage and the key effort to prevent restenosis right now is inhibition of cell cycle Intravascular radiotherapy so called Brachytherapy and stent-based drug elution target upon them Among them rapamycin and paclitaxel proved to be effective both in animal and human experience The last stage is re-epithelization estrogen could promote the process and was considered to be effective in this stage

Stent-based elution of corticosteroid despite of its feasibility and safety was not as effective as other anti-proliferation agent eg Rapamycin etc The major reason might be the patient group with coronary artery disease is a heterogenous one

We believe if we applied corticosteroid over the patient with elevated inflammatory parameters ie acute coronary syndrome ACS the effect of anti-restenosis would be obvious

In this study by a special-designed phosphorylcholine-coated stent dexamethasone could be readily absorbed and then gradually released locally even 4 weeks after deployment

We expected a reduction of In-stent restenosis in ACS patient by the method with no or few systemic adverse effect of steroid and angiographic follow-up as well as intra-vascular ultrasound assessment would be performed according to pur protocol
