ENDOTHELIAL PROGENITOR CELLS & VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR A IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS AFTER PERCUTANEOUS VASCULAR INTERVENTIONS

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) are thought to play a significant role in endothelialization after transluminal angioplasty. The aim of the study was to investigate mobilization of EPCs and VEGF-A in patients with T2DM after elective percutaneous
