RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 In-stent restenosis: Update on intracoronary radiotherapy JF Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO Cleve Clin J Med FD Cleveland Clinic SP 796 OP 802 VO 68 IS 9 A1 Albert W. Chan A1 David J. Moliterno YR 2001 UL http://www.ccjm.org/content/68/9/796.abstract AB Stents eliminate vessel recoil and remodeling, two of the three major causes of restenosis after balloon angioplasty, but they promote the third cause, neointimal proliferation. Intracoronary radiotherapy at the time of successful repeat balloon angioplasty is proving effective in treating in-stent restenosis and lowering rates of recurrence. Current techniques and their safety and efficacy are discussed.
