title: [Intracoronary radiotherapy].
abstract: Intervenient cardiology is significantly more represented in attempts to solve problems of heart coronary artery disease in comparison to aortocoronary bypass procedures. Resthenoses of coronary artery blood vessel after PTCA, or PTCA and stent placement are frequent. The main causes are: neointimal hyperplasia, late contraction, and remodelling. The application of brachitherapy offers the possibility to prevent resthenosis especially stent resthenosis. Our report encompasses eight patients diseased from coronary artery occlusionn. Half of there patients had a stent resthenosis. The average degree of blood vessel occlusionn before the intervenient manipulation was 78%, and after treatment 25%-30%. Early results after recanalisation of coronary blood vessel are thus fat satisfactory, but results are to be followed carefully.
