Abstract
Two patients who developed restenosis after implantation of Palmaz-Sch atz coronary stents were successfully treated by transluminal extracti on atherectomy and there has been no recurrence on follow-up angiogram s. The optimum strategy for managing restenosis after coronary stentin g remains unclear, but transluminal extraction atherectomy appears to be a safe and effective option. (C) 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
