Total of 437 patients who successfully underwent PCI with a follow-up angiography were enrolled. We aimed to investigate the serial changes in serum IL-6 levels before and after PCI and relationship between -572C/G polymorphism and ISR. Our results showed that IL-6 is an early post-PCI inflammatory cytokine, and one-day post-PCI IL-6 level is an independent risk factor for restenosiscarrying the -572G allele is likely to increase an individual’s susceptibility to ISR by promoting IL-6 levels.
