Abstract:
With in-stent restenosis remaining major limitation of coronary stenting and adjunctive pharmacologic therapy and re-stenting having failed to reduce the rates of in-stent restenosis, a new treatment alternative is warranted. Vascular brachytherapy - the intracoronary delivery of radiation has been proposed as one such therapy. Thus far it is an important break-through in combating re-stenosis. Todate, 5 years of clinical data has been generated and further studies are underway to perfect the technology.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
