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.
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.
