Kissing drug eluting balloons for in‐stent restenosis complicating bifurcations treated with drug‐eluting stents

Abstract

AbstractThe management of in‐stent restenosis (ISR) complicating bifurcation lesions is technically challenging and implant of further stents may not be feasible. The use of drug‐eluting balloons provides an attractive option for treatment of such lesions allowing a technically simple procedure without the need for further complex stenting. The SeQuent Please paclitaxel‐eluting balloon (B. Braun, Berlin, Germany) has been shown to be superior to a paclitaxel eluting stent or balloon angioplasty for ISR complicating a bare‐metal stent. However, there is no data on the efficacy of the SeQuent Please in ISR complicating drug‐eluting stents or bifurcation lesions. We report two cases where the SeQuent Please was used in this setting with angiographic success and freedom from target vessel failure and angina at 24 months. In both cases the Sheathless Eau Cath guide (Asahi Intecc, Japan) was employed to perform a kissing‐balloon dilatation with the SeQuent Please, so allowing treatment via radial access. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
