Thus, it is difficult for us to cornpare the results from those studies with results from our study. We stressed the importance of avoiding dilation outside the endoprosthesis, since we noticed that this maneuver was associated with restenosis and secondary obstruction attributable to arterial damage. Another possible explanation for the different results is the use of ticlopidine hydrochloride (since 1993) after placement of an endoprosthesis. This platelet antiaggregant demonstrated effective prevention of secondany thrombosis within the stent, especially in cases in which coronary artery dilation was performed. To our knowledge, we were the first to report the local pain phenomenon with fever (4), for which we suggested different possible causes (eg, inflammation, infection, ischemia). Results from different human studies published later confirmed this phenomenon, and the animal studies showed that it may be linked with an inflammatory reaction to polyester. This pain phenomenon can occur even with implantation of an expandable, uncovered endoprosthesis. The pain may be
