Repeat intracoronary radiation for recurrent in-stent restenosis in patients who failed intracoronary radiation.
BACKGROUND Intracoronary radiation therapy (IRT) is the only proven treatment for in-stent restenosis (ISR). It is, however, associated with a significant failure rate. The present study evaluated the outcomes of patients who underwent repeat intracoronary radiation for recurrent ISR. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty-one consecutive patients who failed a previous radiation treatment, presented with ...
متن کاملIntracoronary radiation : it keeps on glowing.
Stents are now used routinely for catheter-based coronary revascularization procedures. Early clinical trials of stents demonstrated reduced rates of angiographic restenosis compared with balloon angioplasty alone.1–3 In a registry analysis of 1403 patients, 64% of whom were treated with stents, the need for repeat revascularization was 39% less than in a similar cohort having coronary interven...

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...
