Vascular brachytherapy for treatment of cardiac allograft vasculopathy

J Heart Lung Transplant. 2001 Jul;20(7):792-4. doi: 10.1016/s1053-2498(01)00276-5.

Abstract

A high restenosis rate often follows treatment of coronary stenoses in cardiac allograft vasculopathy. We report successful coronary brachytherapy of a second in-stent restenosis in a patient after heart transplantation.
