In this procedure, a stent (in this case, a type of tubular scaffolding) is used to open the clogged artery.
However, in response to the trauma of the stent insertion, the body initiates a natural healing process that produces too many cells in the artery and results in restenosis, or reclosing of the artery.
The gene therapy approach to preventing this unwanted side effect is to cover the outside of the stents with a soluble gel.
