Treatment of patients with in-stent restenosis

Fernando Alfonso et al. EuroIntervention. 2009 May.

Abstract

Treatment of patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a technical challenge. This problem has been reduced since the advent of drug-eluting stents (DES), but continues to represent a significant burden during daily practice in interventional cardiology. Treatment of ISR after bare-metal stent implantation has evolved and currently DES constitute the intervention of choice. However, DES may also develop ISR. The best therapeutic alternative for patients suffering from ISR after DES implantation remains to be elucidated. This review will focus on treatment of patients with ISR emphasising currently available alternatives, technical issues, limitations and future perspectives.
