    Background Recent human trials with rapamycin-eluting stents have shown very low restenosis rates. However, the high costs of these devices preclude their use in routine angioplasty, especially when considering multiple stenting. We evaluated whether orally administered rapamycin inhibits in-stent neointimal growth in patients with unstable angina.
