Endovascular brachytherapy for treatment of bilateral renal artery in-stent restenosis.

摘要

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of renal artery stenosis is an attractive alternative to surgical therapy. However, even with endovascular stenting, the overall rate of restenosis is 21%. While brachytherapy for coronary in-stent restenosis has proven efficacy, its use for renal artery in-stent restenosis has not been formally evaluated. We report a case of bilateral in-stent renal artery restenosis treated with endovascular brachytherapy. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2003;59:251-254.
