- Title
Brachytherapy for In-Stent Restenosis.
- Authors
Mukherjee, Debabrata; Moliterno, David J.
- Abstract
The editorial focuses on target vessel revascularization (TVR) and in-stent restenosis (ISR). The results of clinical trials, such as TAXUS V ISR whose patients had paclitaxel-eluting stents and Sirolimus-Eluting Stent with Vascular Brachytherapy for the Treatment of In-Stent Restonisis (SISR), indicate outcomes from drug-eluting stent implantation are better than those using brachytherapy. The author suggests methods for further research.
