Intravascular ultrasound-guided transluminal extraction atherectomy for restenosis after Gianturco-Roubin coronary stent implantation

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1996 Mar;37(3):317-9. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1097-0304(199603)37:3<317::AID-CCD23>3.0.CO;2-D.

Abstract

Two patients with restenosis following implantation of the Gianturco-Roubin stent were successfully treated with the transluminal extraction atherectomy device, with the assistance of intravascular ultrasound guidance and adjunctive balloon angioplasty. The optimal management strategy of in-stent restenosis remains unclear, but the transluminal extraction atherectomy device may be an option for the management of restenosis within the Gianturco-Roubin stent.
