Prolonged Antiplatelet Therapy to Prevent Late Thrombosis After Intracoronary γ-Radiation in Patients With In-Stent Restenosis

Abstract

Six months of clopidogrel and aspirin and a reduction in re-stenting for patients with in-stent restenosis treated with gamma-radiation is well tolerated and associated with a reduction in the late thrombosis rate compared with a similar cohort treated with only 1 month of clopidogrel and aspirin.
