title: Acute and long-term results of treatment of diffuse in-stent restenosis in aortocoronary saphenous vein grafts.
abstract: Treatment of diffuse in-stent restenosis in saphenous vein grafts with excimer laser coronary angioplasty plus adjunct balloon angioplasty achieves an adequate acute result. However, this population has high long-term mortality and frequent need for repeat revascularization.
