  • Title: Endovascular brachytherapy for treatment of bilateral renal artery in-stent restenosis.
    Author: Chrysant GS, Goldstein JA, Casserly IP, Rogers JH, Kurz HI, Thorstad WL, Singh J, Lasala JM.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2003 Jun; 59(2):251-4. PubMed ID: 12772252.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of renal artery stenosis is an attractive alternative to surgical therapy. However, even with endovascular stenting, the overall rate of restenosis is 21%. While brachytherapy for coronary in-stent restenosis has proven efficacy, its use for renal artery in-stent restenosis has not been formally evaluated. We report a case of bilateral in-stent renal artery restenosis treated with endovascular brachytherapy.
