Background and aims We aimed at studying the association of three major human monocyte
subsets after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in patients with femoropopliteal
disease. Methods We prospectively studied 67 sequential patients (40 male, 27 female;
mean age 71±11 years) treated with femoropopliteal angioplasty. Multi-color flow cytometry
characterized monocyte subsets from venous blood for expression of CD14 and CD16 and
intracellular myeloperoxidase (MPO) prior to, and 3, 6 and 12 months post PTA. Analyses …
