title: Diagnosis, classification, and treatment of femoropopliteal artery in-stent restenosis.
abstract: In-stent restenosis is a pervasive challenge to the durability of stenting for the treatment of lower extremity ischemia. There is considerable controversy about the criteria for diagnosis, indications for treatment, and preferred algorithm for addressing in-stent restenosis. This evidence summary seeks to review existing information on strategies for the treatment of this difficult problem.
