Use of Everolimus-eluting Stent with a Bioresorbable Polymer Coating for Treatment of Recurrent In-stent Restenosis
08/01/2008
In-stent restenosis (ISR) often limits the long-term success of percutaneous coronary intervention. A number of clinical trials have shown that drug-eluting stents are both safe and effective in preventing ISR in de novo lesions.1,2,3 The use...
