In-stent restenosis: the Washington Hospital Center experience

The American Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

In-stent restenosis has become a significant clinical problem. In 1997 alone, it is estimated that up to 100,000 patients world-wide with in-stent restenosis were treated. Serial intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analysis has shown that tubular-slotted stents almost never chronically recoil and that neointimal hyperplasia is responsible for in-stent restenosis. With the rapid recent explosion in stent use, information about in-stent restenosis has lagged behind, especially on the impact of new stent designs. For example, the true prevalence of in-stent restenosis (1) varies with the lesion and patient subset, being much higher in the "real world" than in the selected patients typically enrolled in many studies; and (2) depends on its definition (i.e., clinical vs angiographic, intralesion vs in-stent). "Conventional" catheter-based treatments have included percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), rotational atherectomy, excimer laser coronary angioplasty, directional coronary atherectomy, and additional stent implantation. Rates of recurrence with these approaches are not known and vary considerably among series; however, certain lesions seem likely to recur regardless of the treatment modality. Recently, brachyther...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
