Abstract

The application of &#103 -radiation in coronary arteries is a promising new technique for the treatment of in-stent restenosis. This is the first case in which the 5 F. delivery catheter of the Beta-Cath™ system was advanced through the struts of a stent, previously deployed in an adjacent branch, so as to deliver radiation to the target vessel. (Int J Cardiovasc Intervent 2000; 3: 121-125)
