This study was designed to test the hypothesis that patients fulfilling intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) criteria for optimal coronary stent implantation show a reduction in the restenosis rate at 6 months. IVUS guidance for stent dilation may be associated with faciliated stent implantation and an i

β¦ Synopsis
Two patients with restenosis following implantation of the Gianturco-Roubin stent were successfully treated with the transluminal extraction atherectomy device, with the assistance of intravascular ultrasound guidance and adjunctive balloon angioplasty. The optimal management strategy of in-stent restenosis remains unclear, but the transluminal extraction atherectomy device may be an option for the management of restenosis within the Gianturco-Roubin stent.
