Effectiveness of radioactive tungsten source in the prevention of restenosis in stented porcine coronary arteries

Purpose : Intracoronary radiation has shown the potential to inhibit neointimal proliferation in porcine models of restenosis. The objective of this study was to determine whether intracoronary radiation using a new coiled wire of tungsten-188 ( 188W), a pure β emitter (half-life 69.4 days) is safe....
