Several approaches have been taken to relieve restenosis inside a vascular stent. In a patient with a complicated history of coronary artery disease, a restenotic lesion inside a Gianturco-Roubin flex stent was relleved by angloplasty and deployment of three 10 mm Palmaz P-104 "biliary" stents, with uroklnase and verapamil used to prevent thromboembollsm and the no-refiow phenomenon. An angiographic study 6 months later showed a patent graft with no residual stenosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
