Comment: Edifoligide is an oligonucleotide decoy that binds to and inhibits activity of E2F transcription factors that regulate expression of genes controlling smooth muscle cell proliferation. This is proposed as a mechanism to reduce the progressive neointimal hyperplasia that contributes to vein graft failure following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery [2-4].
