Serial intravascular ultrasound analysis of the impact of lesion length on the efficacy of intracoronary γ-irradiation for preventing recurrent In-Stent Restenosis

The relation between lesion length and effectiveness of brachytherapy is not well studied. We compared serial (postintervention and follow-up) intravascular ultrasound findings in 66 patients with native coronary artery in-stent restenosis (ISR) who were treated with (192)Ir (15 Gy delivered 2 mm aw...
