TCT-668 Everolimus Eluting Stents Versus First Generation Drug Eluting Stents (Sirolimus or Paclitaxel) for Treatment of Drug-Eluting Stent In-Stent Restenosis

Intravascular brachytherapy versus drug-eluting stents for the treatment of patients with drug-eluting stent restenosis.

Drug-eluting stents (DESs), although promising technology, still are associated with restenosis; therefore, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of intravascular radiation therapy for the treatment of DES in-stent restenosis (ISR). Treatment of DES ISR has not been established, although intravascular radiation therapy is an effective treatment for patients with ISR of bare metal stents. Other m...

Second versus first generation drug eluting stents during stent overexpansion.

Drug-Eluting Balloons or Stents for Bare-Metal Stent Restenosis.

D rug-eluting stents (DES) represent the gold standard device for percutaneous coronary intervention (1). Nevertheless, bare-metal stents (BMS) are still used in patients at high bleeding risk or if immediate surgery is pending, to allow shorter dual-antiplatelet therapy duration in comparison with DES. Furthermore, economic restraints and limited availability of DES in some regions justify con...

A randomized comparison of drug-eluting balloon versus everolimus-eluting stent in patients with bare-metal stent-in-stent restenosis: the RIBS V Clinical Trial (Restenosis Intra-stent of Bare Metal Stents: paclitaxel-eluting balloon vs. everolimus-eluting stent).

OBJECTIVES This study sought to compare the efficacy of drug-eluting balloons (DEB) with that of everolimus-eluting stents (EES) in patients with bare-metal stents (BMS) in-stent restenosis (ISR). BACKGROUND Treatment of patients with ISR remains a challenge. METHODS This was a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial comparing DEB with EES in patients with bare-metal stents (BMS) in-sten...

Overview of Intracoronary Brachytherapy for in-Stent Restenosis of a Drug-Eluting Stent

Percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting is considered recently as the most common procedure for the treatment of symptomatic coronary. The article reviewed 41 studies published during 1997-2019 on intracoronary brachytherapy for in-stent restenosis of a drug-eluting stent. Intracoronary radiation therapy was finally confirmed in the setting of in-stent restenosis using as adjunctive th...
