    The development of an effective strategy for treatment of in-stent restenosis after BMS placement has been found to be extremely complicated. The therapeutic purpose for many patients is achieved with the implantation of DES – an option which is still not investigated and studied enough. 152 patients with implanted drug-eluting stents (different generations) for severe in-stent restenosis were followed up for a period of 9 years in the department of cardiology of University Hospital “St. Ekaterina”. Patients were divided into two groups – 131 patients with implanted first generation DES, and 21 patients – with second generation DES.
