    Background: In stent restenosis has been a considerable major problem with bare-metal stents (BMS). Pharmacological interventions to decrease Instent restenosis (ISR) could be of clinical relevance. Colchicine is associated with reduced inflammation and can be a reduced ISR rate when administered to patients after BMS implantation. The current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of colchicine additional to BMS in the prevention of BMS restenosis in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: The current clinical study was conducted at Gaza city. It involved 90 patients who were scheduled for coronary angioplasty procedure.
