High-speed rotational ablation for in-stent restenosis

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1997 Feb;40(2):144-9. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1097-0304(199702)40:2<144::aid-ccd4>3.0.co;2-b.

Abstract

High-speed rotational ablation was used to treat in-stent restenosis in 10 consecutive patients with a total of 12 in-stent restenosis lesions. Seven lesions required adjunctive PTCA and five were stand alone results. No patient experienced a complication of the procedure. This small consecutive series demonstrates the feasibility of the technique and its potential application to the management of this increasingly common clinical problem.
