title: Complex transradial three vessel brachytherapy in a single session.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We report the case of a patient who underwent transradial brachytherapy in 3 different coronary vessels during a single session. She initially presented with unstable angina 4 months after the index procedure; control angiography showed severe and diffuse in-stent restenosis in the LAD, Cx and Mg arteries.
  
  
  METHODS
  After successful dilatation of the three vessels, we performed vascular brachytherapy using the Novoste Beta-Rail  system and a 60 mm length source train of 90Sr/Y radioactive seeds. No further stent was implanted. The patient left the hospital the next day. Follow-up angiography revealed widely patent vessels with no restenosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Transradial multivessel brachytherapy can be done during the same session.
