 | | Recently the mechanisms of restenosis have been reappraised with an enriched understanding that the original concept of neointimal hyperplasia may not be accounting for the bulk of the problem. | | | However, the enthusiasm for angioplasty is shadowed by restenosis, which remains a critical problem after the procedure, resulting in clinical recurrence in over a third of patients. | | | Enthusiasm for angioplasty is shadowed by restenosis, which results in clinical recurrence in over a third of patients. |

| | Despite this development, restenosis has remained the "bugaboo" of the interventional cardiologist, and has limited the long-term effectiveness of this technique. | | | Stenting has been associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of restenosis. | | | Initial pilot studies have yielded very encouraging results, and lead one to conclude that the threat of restenosis may appreciably recede in the future. |

| | Therefore, clinical researchers, trying to reduce restenosis, are interested in identifying a method, such as radiation therapy to use in conjunction with angioplasty and stenting. | | | This multi-center registry will include data from patients with in-stent restenosis who underwent brachytherapy with the Galileo™ system for the development of restenosis following a successful interventional cardiology procedure, including PTCA, stent, atherectomy, or laser angioplasty. | | | Catheter-based ionizing radiation and radioactive stents, which deliver either gamma (g) or beta (b) radiation to the affected vessels, are the two intra-coronary radiation therapy techniques currently used or being clinically investigated to reduce restenosis. |

| | Approximately 400,000 angioplasty procedures are performed each year in the U.S. Restenosis occurs in 20 to 50 percent of patients who have undergone a revascularization procedure. | | | "This study also raises the possibility of new therapeutic approaches involving antiviral strategies to prevent restenosis," added Dr. Lenfant. | | | Most cases of restenosis involve hyperplasia and remodeling and, according to Dr. Epstein, CMV may play a role in the devlopment of these responses to injury. |

| | The authors conclude that debulking techniques such as rotational atherectomy, laser coronary angioplasty and directional atherectomy have been believed to be more efficacious than balloon angioplasty and have been increasingly used for in-stent restenosis, but the ability to assess any notable difference is limited by small numbers of rotational atherectomies and clinical events on follow-up. | | | Of this group, 116 patients underwent PTCA, 30 patients underwent rotational atherectomy and 14 patients had repeat stenting. | | | Between January 1993 and December 1996 at one site, 160 patients were treated for in-stent restenosis with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). |

| | The use of stents has lowered this rate of recurrence or restenosis, and new types of devices that release clot-deterring medicine or even certain forms of radiation have been developed in the hopes of reducing this problem even further. | | | It is thought that the mechanism of this phenomenon, called "restenosis", is not the progression of coronary artery disease, but rather the body's immune system response to the "injury" of the angioplasty. | | | Several investigational clinical studies have been in progress to determine the effective dose levels and optimum delivery systems of gamma or beta radiation (brachytherapy) but the most recent results (five year data) are not encouraging. |

| | For this reason, doctors tend to treat angioplasty patients with higher doses of cholesterol-lowering drugs, such as lovastatin and cholestyramine, in order to reduce restenosis (reclogging). | | | However, there are potential risks associated with radiation treatment. | | | Reclogging, or reblockage, is the Achilles’ heel of the standard therapies to open up blocked leg (or heart) arteries. |
