Five-year follow-up after intracoronary gamma radiation therapy for in-stent restenosis.
BACKGROUND The Washington Radiation for In-Stent Restenosis Trial is a double-blinded randomized study evaluating the effects of intracoronary radiation therapy (IRT) in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR). METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred thirty patients with ISR (100 native coronary and 30 vein grafts) underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, laser ablation, rotational a...
متن کاملIntracoronary Radiation Therapy (IRT) for In-Stent Restenosis
The efficacy of beta and gamma emitters in reducing clinical and angiographic restenosis in patients with in-stent restenosis has been confirmed by a number of studies. This review is intended to give an overview of the individual trials, summarize pertinent lessons that have been learned and give insight into the future of intracoronary radiation. The encouraging results from the clinical tria...
متن کاملTwo-year angiographic follow-up of intracoronary Sr90 therapy for restenosis prevention after balloon angioplasty.
BACKGROUND Postcoronary angioplasty vascular brachytherapy (VBT) has emerged as a successful intervention for restenosis prevention in some clinical scenarios. Longer-term follow-up after VBT in de novo nonstented lesions has not been reported. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty patients treated with post-percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) VBT with Sr90 underwent clinical and angio...
متن کاملEdge stenosis and geographical miss following intracoronary gamma radiation therapy for in-stent restenosis.
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the relationship between geographical miss (GM) and edge restenosis (ERS) following intracoronary radiation therapy. BACKGROUND Edge restenosis may be a limitation of intracoronary irradiation to prevent in-stent restenosis (ISR). Inadequate radiation source coverage of the injured segment (GM) has been proposed as a cause of ERS. We studied the relationship ...
متن کاملFive-year clinical follow-up after intracoronary radiation: results of a randomized clinical trial.
BACKGROUND Several clinical trials indicate that intracoronary radiation is safe and effective for treatment of restenotic coronary arteries. We previously reported 6-month and 3-year clinical and angiographic follow-up demonstrating significant decreases in target lesion revascularization (TLR) and angiographic restenosis after gamma radiation of restenotic lesions. The objective of this study...
