Usefulness of high-pressure post-dilatation to optimize deployment of drug-eluting stents for the treatment of diffuse in-stent coronary restenosis.
Drug-eluting stents (DESs) may represent a simple, effective treatment for in-stent restenosis (ISR); however, the underexpansion of stents is a significant cause of target vessel failure. It was hypothesized that high-pressure postdilatation would be necessary to optimize DES expansion and minimize...
