Abstract
Treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) with conventional percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) causes significant recurrent neointimal tissue growth in 30-85%. Therefore, laser ablation of intrastent neointimal hyperplasia before balloon dilation can be an attractive alternative. However, the long-term outcomes of such treatment have not been studied thoroughly enough. This prospective case-control study evaluated angiographic and clinical outcomes of PTCA alone and a combination of excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) and adjunct PTCA in 125 patients with ISR. ELCA was performed before balloon dilation in 67 patients, PTCA alone was performed in 58 patients. Basic demographic and clinical data were comparable in both groups. Lesions included in ELCA group were longer (17.1 ±9.9 vs 13.6 ±9.1 mm; p=0.034), more complex (36.5% type C stenoses vs 14.3%; p=0.006), and more frequently had reduced distal blood flow (TIMI <3: 18.9% vs 4.8%; p=0.025) compared to lesions in the PTCA group. Immediate angiographic results of PTCA and ELCA + PTCA appeared to be comparable. PTCA alone was successful in 57 patients (98.3%), ELCA + PTCA, in 66 patients (98.5%). The rates of hospital complications were comparable (3.0% in ELCA group vs 8.6% in PTCA group). The 1-year follow-up showed that the rates of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were comparable in the 2 groups (37.3% in ELCA group vs 46.6% in PTCA group). The rates of target vessel revascularization (TVR) within 1 year after the intervention were also similar in the 2 groups (32.8% vs 34.5%). The data mean that ELCA in patients with complex ISR is efficient and safe. Despite a higher complexity of lesions in the ELCA group, no increase in the rate of complications was registered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The impact of vessel injury on the outcome of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention combined with brachytherapy for in-stent restenosis is under investigation. We report our clinical experience adopting a low aggressive balloon angioplasty technique, to limit vessel trauma, associated with brachytherapy and short-term dual antiplatelet therapy. METHODS Forty-nine consecutive patients, undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with brachytherapy for symptomatic in-stent restenosis, were prospectively observed for a median time of 21 + or - 8 months. Clinical follow-up included anginal status, death, myocardial infarction and repeat revascularization; only patients with evidence of ischaemia repeated coronary angiography. Low aggressive angioplasty consisted in the use of a conventional balloon with a balloon to artery ratio < or = 1, avoiding high inflation pressures and the use of other devices. Dual antiplatelet therapy was continued for 3-6 months. RESULTS Early angiographic result was good and the need for additional stent implantation was low (3.9%). At follow-up, we did not observe death, acute myocardial infarction or stent thrombosis, but 10 patients repeated coronary angiography for recurrence of ischaemia: disease progression was present in two cases (4.1%). Restenosis emerged in the remaining eight patients (16.3%): two cases showed restenosis within the target lesion segment, one case within the injured segment, one case within the radiated segment, and four cases at the edges. The consequent new revascularization was surgical in three patients and percutaneous in seven patients. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that low aggressive angioplasty followed by brachytherapy and short-term dual antiplatelet therapy for in-stent restenosis is related to a good outcome, with a low restenosis rate and without stent thrombosis.

Abstract
Treatment of in-stent restenosis in saphenous vein grafts often requires initial debulking, but transluminal extraction catheter (TEC) atherectomy is seldom used for this purpose, and most discussions omit this option. Our experience with 6 episodes of TEC used successfully for saphenous vein graft in-stent restenosis and review of 7 other reported cases suggests TEC may be safe and effective for debulking saphenous vein graft restenosis lesions.

Abstract
In-stent restenosis (ISR), when treated with balloon angioplasty (PTCA) alone, has an angiographic recurrence rate of 30%-85%. Ablating the hypertrophic neointimal tissue prior to PTCA is an attractive alternative, yet the late outcomes of such treatment have not been fully determined. This multicenter case control study assessed the angiographic and clinical outcomes of 157 consecutive procedures in 146 patients with ISR at nine institutions treated with either PTCA alone (n = 64) or excimer laser assisted coronary angioplasty (ELCA, n = 93)) for ISR. Demographics were similar except more unstable angina at presentation in ELCA-treated patients (74.5% vs. 63.5%; P = 0.141). Lesions selected for ELCA were longer (16.8 +/- 11.2 mm vs. 11.2 +/- 8.6 mm; P < 0.001), more complex (ACC/AHA type C: 35.1% vs. 13.6%; P < 0.001), and with compromised antegrade flow (TIMI flow < 3: 18.9% vs. 4.5%; P = 0.008) compared to PTCA-treated patients. ELCA-treated patients had similar rate of procedural success [93 (98.9% vs. 62 (98.4%); P = 1.0] and major clinical complications [1 (1.1%) vs. 1 (1.6%); P = 1.0]. At 30 days, repeat target site coronary intervention was lower in ELCA-treated patients (1.1% vs. 6.4% in PTCA-treated patients; P = 0.158), but not significantly so. At 1 year, ELCA-treated patients had similar rate of major cardiac events (39.1% vs. 45.2%; P = 0.456) and target lesion revascularization (30.0% vs. 32.3%; P = 0.646). These data suggest that ELCA in patients with complex in-stent restenosis is as safe and effective as balloon angioplasty alone. Despite higher lesion complexity in ELCA-treated patients, no increase in event rates was observed. Future studies should evaluate the relative benefit of ELCA over PTCA alone for the prevention of symptom recurrence specifically in patients with complex in-stent restenosis.

Abstract
The BARASTER registry was formed to evaluate the initial success and long-term results of rotational atherectomy in the management of in-stent restenosis. Rotational atherectomy was used in 197 cases of in-stent restenosis: 46 with stand-alone rotational atherectomy or at most 1 atmosphere of balloon inflation (Rota strategy), and 151 with rotational atherectomy and adjunctive balloon angioplasty <1 atmosphere (Combination strategy). These were compared with 107 episodes of in-stent restenosis treated with balloon angioplasty alone. In this observational study, the use of Combination therapy was associated with a slightly higher initial success rate (95% vs. 87% with the Rota strategy and 89% with Balloons, P = 0.08). There was a reduction in one year clinical outcomes (death, myocardial infarction or target lesion revascularization) in the combination group (38% vs. 60% with Rota and 52% with balloons, P = 0.02). These data support a benefit of the strategy of debulking with rotational atherectomy followed by adjunctive balloon angioplasty, in the management of in-stent restenosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In-stent restenosis has become a significant clinical problem as use of stents has increased. The optimal strategy for dealing with in-stent restenosis needs to be evaluated. OBJECTIVE To compare the acute and late results of interventions for in-stent restenosis according to the device used, and to analyze the clinical and procedural variables of the lesions treated and identify the determinants of recurrence of restenosis and target lesion revascularization (TLR). METHODS Procedural and late outcomes for 58 lesions in 50 patients who underwent repeat intervention for in-stent restenosis were analyzed. The results of interventions according to the device employed were compared. The predictors of recurrence of restenosis and TLR within 6 months were analyzed. The ratio of balloon diameter in repeat intervention to minimal lumen diameter after initial stenting (MLD0) was used as an index of re-expansion of stents. Serial intravascular ultrasound imaging was performed before and after repeat intervention for 33 lesions, and re-expansion of the initial stent was evaluated. RESULTS Repeat intervention was successful in treating all lesions. Angiographic follow-up was possible for 49 lesions (84%). The overall incidences of recurrence of restenosis and TLR were 40.1 and 27.6%, respectively. Despite the immediate results having been good, the late results of stenting for in-stent restenosis were not favorable. Diffuse-type in-stent restenosis, early in-stent restenosis, and balloon diameter:MLD0 ratio > 1.25 are independent predictors of poor late results. Intravascular ultrasound findings have shown that expansion of the initial stent leads to recurrence of restenosis and TLR. CONCLUSIONS Re-expansion of the initial stent can cause further vascular injury and there is a risk of recurrence of restenosis. Alternative therapeutic strategies that work without dilating the initial stent may be necessary for treating lesions with high risk of recurrence of restenosis.

Abstract
Repeat balloon angioplasty is a widely used therapeutic option for in-stent restenosis, but the optimal balloon inflation pressure has not yet been determined. We used angiography and intravascular ultrasound imaging to assess the mechanism and results of lumen enlargement at various inflation pressures. Thirteen consecutive patients with restenosis post-Palmaz-Schatz stent implantation were submitted to a four-step balloon angioplasty using increasing balloon pressure of 2, 4, 8, and >12 atm. As a global result, the lumen size was only 80% of that observed at stent implantation. Significant changes in angiographic minimal lumen diameter, minimal lumen cross-sectional area, and lumen volume were observed after each step except after the highest-pressure inflation. At low inflation pressure (<8 atm), the decrease in neointimal tissue and the stent over expansion explained the lumen enlargement, whereas after further high inflation pressure (>8 atm), only additional stent over expansion was observed. These results suggest that only moderate balloon inflation pressure (up to 12 atm) is needed for angioplasty of post-Palmaz-Schatz stent restenotic lesions.

Abstract
Management of in-stent restenosis has become a significant challenge in interventional cardiology. The results of balloon angioplasty have been disappointing due to the high recurrence of restenosis at follow-up. Debulking of the restenotic tissue within the stents using directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) may offer a therapeutic advantage. We report the immediate clinical and angiographic outcomes and long-term clinical follow-up results of 45 patients (46 lesions), mean age 63+/-12 years, 73% men, with a mean reference diameter of 2.9+/-0.6 mm, treated with DCA for symptomatic Palmaz-Schatz in-stent restenosis. DCA was performed successfully in all 46 lesions and resulted in a postprocedural minimal luminal diameter of 2.7+/-0.7 mm and a residual diameter stenosis of 17+/-10%. There were no in-hospital deaths, Q-wave myocardial infarctions, or emergency coronary artery bypass surgeries. Four patients (9%) suffered a non-Q-wave myocardial infarction. Target lesion revascularization was 28.3% at a mean follow-up of 10+/-4.6 months. Kaplan-Meier event-free survival (freedom from death, myocardial infarction, and repeat target lesion revascularization) was 71.2% and 64.7% at 6 and 12 months after DCA, respectively. Thus, DCA is safe and efficacious for the treatment of Palmaz-Schatz in-stent restenosis. It results in a large postprocedural minimal luminal diameter and a low rate of both target lesion revascularization and combined major clinical events at follow-up.
