Abstract

The application of β-radiation in coronary arteries is a promising new technique for the treatment of in-stent restenosis. This is the first case in which the 5 F. delivery catheter of the Beta-Cath(TM) system was advanced through the struts of a stent, previously deployed in an adjacent branch, so as to deliver radiation to the target vessel.
