Treatment of focal in-stent restenosis with balloon angioplasty alone versus stenting: Short- and long-term results

Repeat stenting for the treatment of focal ISR had a higher rate of postprocedure creatine kinase myocardial band elevation >5 times normal (18.5% vs 9.7%, P =.05) and similar long-term clinical results compared with PTCA alone.

Long-term angiographic follow-up after successful repeat balloon angioplasty for in-stent restenosis

Although balloon angioplasty can be safely, successfully, and repeatedly performed after stent restenosis, it carries a progressively high recurrence of angiographic restenosis rate during repeat 6-month follow-ups, which was observed in 24 of the 55 stents (44%) in this study. The subgroup of patients with diffuse, severe, and/or body location in-stent restenosis proved to be at higher risk of recurrent restenosis.

Percutaneous and surgical interventions for in-stent restenosis: long-term outcomes and effect of diabetes mellitus
Moustapha A, et al.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation&list_uids=11401126
In this large cohort of patients with ISR and in the subset of patients without diabetes, long-term outcomes were similar in the BA, repeat stent and RA groups. Tissue debulking with RA yielded better results only in diabetic patients. Bypass surgery for patients with multivessel disease and ISR provided the best outcomes.

Cutting balloon angioplasty for the treatment of in-stent restenosis
  Albiero R || Colombo A

  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0010931621  
The results using the Cutting Balloon for the treatment of in-stent restenosis may be superior to those of conventional PTCA or even the combination of PTCA preceded by rotational atherectomy. The reasons for these possible differences are not yet well defined. The case we report suggests that the Cutting Balloon achieves a better final result than conventional PTCA, by making the tissue more amenable to being pushed outward through the stent struts. 

In-stent restenosis: long-term outcome and predictors of subsequent target lesion revascularization after repeat balloon angioplasty
  Bossi I et al.
  J Am Coll Cardiol 2000;35:1569-76

Balloon angioplasty is an effective means of treating in-stent restenosis. The long-term results are acceptable particularly for focal restenotic lesions. Further restenosis is more common in patients with early initial recurrence, more proliferative lesions and a poorer angiographic result from repeat angioplasty.

BARASTER multicenter registry. Rotational atherectomy or balloon angioplasty in the treatment of intra- stent restenosis
 
Goldberg SL || Colombo A

  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0011108670
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). Results: 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.

Treatment of in-stent restenosis with excimer laser coronary angioplasty versus rotational atherectomy: comparative mechanisms and results
  Mehran R et al.

Despite certain differences in the mechanisms of lumen enlargement, both ELCA+PTCA and RA+PTCA can be used to treat diffuse ISR with similar clinical results.

High-energy eccentric excimer laser angioplasty for debulking diffuse iIn-stent restenosis leads to better acute- and 6-month follow-up results 
  Dahm JB et al.
  J Invasive Cardiol 2000;12:335-42
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0010904438
A significantly greater diameter than its own diameter can be ablated by the Eccentric Excimer Laser (eccELCA). Due to a greater debulking effect, additional lumen gain can be achieved immediately and at follow-up through the high-energy use of EccELCA for debulking and through the use of lower balloon inflation pressures for adjunctive PTCA. Clinical and angiographic TLR is significantly lower than other debulking techniques or PTCA alone and comparable with local irradiation therapy.

Stenting the stent: initial results and long-term clinical and angiographic outcome of coronary stenting for patients with in-stent restenosis

  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0011078301 
Repeat coronary stenting is a safe and efficacious strategy for the treatment of patients with in-stent restenosis. Both elective and nonelective stenting provide excellent initial results. The long-term clinical and angiographic outcome of these patients is also favorable

Occlusion or flow deterioration of SB spanned by the ST is relatively common during repeat intervention for in-ST restenosis. Several factors (mainly anatomic features) are useful predictors of this event. However, most SB occlusions are clinically silent and frequently reappear at follow-up
