Learning Objectives:
- Identify the different types and underlying mechanisms of in-stent restenosis (ISR), including mechanical and biological causes, and their respective treatment algorithms.
- Discuss the central role of intravascular imaging techniques such as IVUS and OCT in diagnosing ISR and guiding treatment strategies.
- Evaluate various treatment modalities for ISR, including high-pressure ballooning, drug-coated balloons (DCB), vascular brachytherapy (VB), and plaque modification therapies, focusing on case examples on how to perform DCB and VBT.
