Abstract:
Objective To evalute the feasibility and safety of sirolimus (rapamycin)-eluting stent for the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR). Methods Eleven patients with ISR were treated with one or more Cypher~ TM sirolimus-eluting stents. All these patients received angiographic follow-up at 6 months. Results The success rate of the procedure was 100%. All patients were free of angina after 6 months. There were no repeat revascularizations, stent thrombosis or major adverse clinical events during the follow up period. No ISR was noted in the follow-up coronary angiography. Conclusion This study demonstrates the safety and potential of sirolimus-eluting stents for the treatment of ISR.
