There is currently no standard strategy for management of an ISR that has developed after a VAO stenting angioplasty. Potential candidates include surgery, ballon or stentingassisted angioplasty, and hybrid recanalization. Drug-coated ballon-assisted angioplasty is an effective and safe therapy for ISR, minimizing excessive stent implantation and open surgery... View more»
