Used in the prevention of restenosis following vascular interventions such as angioplasty or stent placement. It functions as an antiproliferative agent by inhibiting the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, which are key processes in the development of scar tissue within blood vessels. Due to its lipophilic nature, it can be effectively incorporated into drug-eluting stents, allowing for localized delivery to the vessel wall. This targeted action helps maintain vessel patency and reduces the likelihood of repeat blockages. Additionally, it has shown potential in reducing intimal hyperplasia in bypass grafts, making it a candidate for improving long-term outcomes in cardiovascular procedures.
