Coronary Angiographic Patterns of Drug Eluting In-Stent Restenosis

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

The most widely used clinical procedure for the 
treatment of coronary atherosclerosis is 
percutaneous coronary intervention. However, instent restenosis in clinical practice has become a 
real problem. While several major clinical trials 
showed that drug eluting stents could substantially 
reduce the ISR rate, the incidence of ISR after DES 
remained at 5% - 10%.
