[Conventional percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty as the form of treatment of complex intra-stent restenosis].
We report the case of a patient with unstable refractory angina due to a coronary narrowing because of in-stent restenosis affecting the first diagonal, first septal and left anterior descending coronary artery. The lesions were successfully dilated with a conventional balloon catheter and a triple guide-wire system was placed through the inter-filaments space of the stent, to protect and recanalize the branch vessels involved. The patient evolved well and was discharged asymptomatic.
