Multivessel brachytherapy via the transradial approach is feasible in a single session for treating coronary in-stent restenosis. This innovative technique successfully restored blood flow without requiring additional stenting.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Coronary artery disease often requires interventions like stenting.
  • In-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a challenge after coronary stenting.
  • Transradial access offers an alternative approach for cardiac interventions.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with unstable angina and severe, diffuse in-stent restenosis in the LAD, Cx, and Mg arteries.
  • The patient underwent successful balloon angioplasty of the affected coronary vessels.
  • Vascular brachytherapy was performed using the Novoste Beta-Rail system with 90Sr/Y radioactive seeds.

Findings:

  • Transradial multivessel brachytherapy was successfully completed in a single session.
  • No additional stenting was required post-brachytherapy.

  • Follow-up angiography demonstrated widely patent vessels with no evidence of restenosis.

    • Implications:

    • Transradial multivessel brachytherapy is a viable option for managing complex in-stent restenosis.
    • This approach may reduce the need for repeat stenting and associated complications.
    • Further research can explore the long-term efficacy and safety of this technique.
