CRT-124 Comparative In Vitro Effects Of Paclitaxel, Everolimus, And Tacrolimus On Macrophage-derived Foam Cells, Smooth Muscle Cells, And Endothelial Cells

Macrophage-derived foam cells (FC) play a key role in atherosclerotic lesion progression. Effects of different drugs used in drug-eluting stents (DES) on FC behavior have not been well characterized. We used an in vitro model to compare effects of paclitaxel, everolimus, and tacrolimus on FC, human
