Abstract

Brachytherapy is a proposed treatment for in-stent restenosis and is the subject of several clinical trials and debates. The standard treatment of patients with variant angina is to eliminate vasoconstrictive factors and to administer vasodilating drugs. This is the first description of successful brachytherapy for coronary spasm.
