title: Transluminal extraction atherectomy for restenosis following Palmaz-Schatz stent implantation.
abstract: Transluminal extraction atherectomy with adjunctive balloon angioplasty was successfully performed in 9 patients who had restenosis after Palmaz-Schatz stent implantation. Although 4 patients with either totally occluded lesions or with saphenous vein graft lesions had recurrence, this strategy may be a potential treatment for in-stent restenosis.
