## Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cutting balloon angioplasty (CBA) for the treatment of inβstent restenosis prior to intracoronary brachytherapy (ICB). Cutting balloon angioplasty may reduce the incidence of uncontrolled dissection requiring adjunct
Two patients who developed restenosis after implantation of Palmaz-Schatz coronary stents were successfully treated by transluminal extraction atherectomy and there has been no recurrence on follow-up angiograms. The optimum strategy for managing restenosis after coronary stenting remains unclear, b
