  • Title: Recalcitrant in-stent restenosis of the celiac trunk treated by drug-eluting stent.
    Author: Visconti G, Taranto D, Briguori C.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2008 Nov 15; 72(6):873-6. PubMed ID: 19009632.
    Abstract:
    Stent implantation is an alternative, safe, and reliable strategy for the treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia, especially for patients at high surgical risk. However, in-stent restenosis (the Achille's hill of bare metal stent) may occur in up to 20% of cases at 6 months and 53% at 1 year. We describe a case of celiac trunk stenosis treated by bare metal stent complicated by recalcitrant in-stent restenosis and treated by paclitaxel-eluting stent implantation.
