Research & Publications
Dr. Setsu Nishino is a clinician-scientist specializing in cardiovascular medicine and interventional cardiology, with a focus on: Vascular injury and repair mechanisms, emphasizing lesion morphology Inflammatory responses in in-stent restenosis, particularly after drug-eluting stent implantation Mobilization of progenitor cells and vascular healing following stent placement in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients Her broader clinical expertise covers coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertensive heart disease, and rheumatic heart disease. Selected Publications “Mechanism of Vascular Injury and Repair – Importance of Lesion Morphology” Circulation Journal, 2022. This editorial highlights the critical role of lesion morphology in vascular healing and remodeling processes, offering insights into optimizing interventional strategies. “Late-phase Inflammatory Response as a Feature of In-stent Restenosis after Drug-eluting Stent Implantation” Coronary Artery Disease, 2013. Comparative pathological study detailing inflammatory characteristics of restenosis lesions after drug-eluting vs. bare-metal stents. “Mobilization of Progenitor Cells and Vessel Healing after Implantation of SYNERGY in Acute Coronary Syndrome” Scientific Reports, 2021. Evaluates the mobilization of progenitor cells and vessel repair post SYNERGY stent implantation in ACS patients, contributing to understanding vascular regeneration mechanisms.
