Methods of treating a patient receiving a cardiac stent implant including the steps of: (i) monitoring the circulating level of Tn I or CK-MB in the patient; and (ii) administering SERP-I to the patient in an amount sufficient to prevent the circulating level of Tn I or CK-MB from exceeding a specified threshold for the first 24 hours following implantation are disclosed. A specified value of SERP-I is sufficient for preventing circulating level of Tn I or CK-MB from exceeding a specified threshold during the first 24 hours following implantation. The dosing regime of SERP-I to the patient starting within 24 hours of post-implantation is also disclosed. |
