  • Title: The role of radiation therapy in the treatment of femoropopliteal occlusive disease.
    Author: Chellini J, Ansel GM, Botti CF, Silver MJ.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2003 Jan; 15 Suppl A():21A-24A. PubMed ID: 12668838.
    Abstract:
    With the success of brachytherapy in the coronary vessels as a guide, it has also shown promising initial results as an adjunct for the treatment and prevention of restenosis of femoropopliteal occlusive disease. With the rapid evolution of endovascular therapy, defining the role of brachytherapy will become even more important. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the role of brachytherapy in the treatment of restenosis following femoropopliteal endovascular intervention.
