title: [Treatment of recurrent stenosis by conventional re-PTCA].
abstract: Balloon angioplasty for restenosis has a higher success rate and a lower complication rate as compared to PTCA in de-novo-lesions. The restenosis rate after a second or third PTCA is only slightly higher than after a first PTCA. So far, balloon dilatation is the most effective and most economic treatment for restenosis.
