Chronic total occlusions (CTO) represent about 10% of all coronary lesions treated by percutaneous interventions. They traditionally have posed significant problems for patients and operators, with both lower initial success rates and higher...

In-stent restenosis as a result of excessive neointimal proliferation is the main limiting factor to the long-term success of coronary stenting, but the advent of drug-eluting stents has reduced this problem significantly. Paclitaxel is an...
