title: [Invasive cardiology--focus on restenosis. Part I].
abstract: In-stent restenosis is mainly caused by neointima proliferation and represents a pathological process which histology is different from that of restenosis after balloon angioplasty. Frequency of in-stent restenoses increases parallel with progressively increasing number of procedures of coronary stenting. The review summarizes results of research devoted to restenosis pathology and pathogenesis including animal studies, presents methods of mechanical treatment of in-stent restenoses (balloon inflation, direct and rotational atherectomy), as well as techniques of beta and gamma irradiation aimed at prevention of restenosis development.
