    Several studies have compared the performance of DES with brachytherapy in patients with BMS ISR. All studies, ranging from nonrandomized pilot studies to the large randomized SISR (Sirolimus-Eluting Stents Versus Vascular Brachytherapy for In-Stent Restenosis) study and the TAXUS V ISR study (PES vs. brachytherapy), which individually enrolled ∼400 patients, have shown a consistent benefit with treatment using DES (SES or PES) compared with brachytherapy (389–395). Of note, at long-term follow-up in the TAXUS V ISR study, a greater absolute difference in TLR was seen at 2-year follow-up in favor of PES (9-month ΔTLR 7.6% vs. 24-month ΔTLR 11.5%), without any compromise on safety (392).

  • Optical coherence tomography patterns of stent restenosis

    2009, The American Heart Journal
    Citation Excerpt :

    This high-resolution imaging technique was able to evaluate the hyperplastic tissue in great detail. Interestingly, the tissue showed variation in structure, backscatter, and composition that were widely missed by IVUS in the past.17 In our study population, OCT was able to visualize details of the lumen shape and content and a wide range of components with different optical properties in the restenotic tissue.
