• Procalcitonin (PCT) is an inflammatory marker and elevated PCT levels are associated with cardiovascular events. We assessed whether PCT level is an independent predictor of bare-metal stent (BMS) in-stent restenosis (ISR). We evaluated 240 patients undergoing BMS implantation. Serum PCT levels were measured before procedure. Patients were classified as ISR(-) group (n = 120) and ISR(+) group (n = 120). Serum PCT levels were higher in the ISR (+) group (p < 0.001). At multivariate analysis, PCT (odds ratio [OR] 1.561; p = 0.012), stent length (OR: 1.089), stent diameter (OR: 0.141) and uric acid (OR: 1.465) were independent predictors of ISR. Serum PCT is independently associated with ISR and increased PCT levels may provide useful information for the risk of BMS-ISR.
