Abstract
Background: Keloid and hypertrophic scars are two types of proliferative scars at sites of cutaneous injury that form as a result of an abnormal wound-healing process. Proliferative scar formation after skin injury and restenosis after coronary stenting have common features. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of proliferative scars with coronary stent restenosis.
