Abstract :
This study compared the 2-year outcomes of repeat brachytherapy (n = 10) and conventional percutaneous intervention (n = 14) in patients with restenosis after intracoronary brachytherapy with a rhenium-188-filled balloon system. The short-term target lesion revascularization rate was significantly lower in the repeat brachytherapy group (0% vs 36%, p = 0.038), and additional target lesion revascularization was required in 2 patients with repeat brachytherapy during 2-year follow-up. There were no vascular complications related to repeat brachytherapy.
