Endovascular γ-irradiation to prevent recurrent femoral in-stent restenosis A case report
Description
We report about a patient with twice recurrence of femoral in-stent restenoses. Centered endoluminal γ-irradiation with 192 iridium was performed immediately after the second stent recanalization. The irradiation dose was 14 Gy calculated at 2-mm depth of vessel wall. One-year follow-up demonstrates neither clinical nor angiographic evidence of restenosis
