✦ Synopsis

Abstract

More than 70% of percutaneous coronary interventions are followed by a stent implantation. In‐stent restenosis still occurs in 20‐30% of patients and remains a therapeutic challenge. At present only vascular brachytherapy has been shown to be an effective treatment option. We report here one case of recurrent in‐stent restenosis after vascular brachytherapy that was successfully treated by a second beta radiation treatment. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2002;55:233–236.

## Abstract Background: Most studies that proved intracoronary radiation therapy (IRT) to be highly effective to reduce recurrent restenosis after treatment of in‐stent restenosis (ISR) have looked at time periods up to 12 months. Whether the beneficial effect from radiation is sustained during lon
