Abstract :
Between January 1996 and May 2000, we retrospectively identified 66 patients (61 ± 11 years) with in-stent restenosis who did not undergo percutaneous coronary intervention and/or bypass surgery and were maintained on medical treatment alone. In-stent restenosis was diffuse or proliferative in 86% of these patients. At 33 ± 11 months, 2 patients died, none developed myocardial infarction, and 6 (9%) had target lesion revascularization only (repeat percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty). Medical treatment alone was associated with a good long-term clinical follow-up in selected patients with significant documented in-stent restenosis.
