Abstract
Background In animal models of coronary restenosis, intracoronary radiotherapy has been shown to reduce the intimal hyperplasia that is a part of restenosis. We studied the safety and efficacy of catheter-based intracoronary gamma radiation plus stenting to reduce coronary restenosis in patients with previous restenosis. Methods Patients with restenosis underwent coronary stenting, as required, and balloon dilation and were then randomly...
