Abstract
Transluminal extraction atherectomy with adjunctive balloon angioplast y was successfully performed in 9 patients who had restenosis after Pa lmaz-Schatz stent implantation. Although 4 patients with either totall y occluded lesions or with saphenous vein graft lesions had recurrence , this strategy may be a potential treatment for in-stent restenosis.
