Abstract

Restenosis is an arterial wall healing response to mechanical injury at the site of a previously treated coronary segment. In-stent restenosis (ISR) is an angiographic diagnosis, defined as recurrent diameter stenosis >50% within a stent or at its edges (5 mm segments proximal and distal to the stent). It is the most common cause of stent failure and the most common reason for target lesion revascularization (TLR). Moreover, its treatment is challenging owing to a relatively high rate of recurrence at follow-up.
