title: Angiographic and clinical outcomes of late total occlusion versus treatment failure without late total occlusion in patients after intracoronary radiation therapy for in-stent restenosis.
abstract: This study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients with late total occlusion (LTO) versus patients with recurrence in the absence of LTO after intracoronary radiation therapy for in-stent restenosis. LTO, especially in the context of acute myocardial infarction, after intracoronary radiation therapy for in-stent restenosis, is associated with negative clinical outcomes after 6 and 12 months compared with in-stent restenosis without LTO.
