  2. Figure 1 Stimulation of neointima within an irradiated artery

  3. Figure 2 Minimal neointimal neoplasia post stent placement

  4. External beam radiation • major US center • 11 patient pilot study • 8 Gy external beam radiation • 11/11 restenosis the restenosis rate was 100%

  5. Radiation injury to blood vessels • capillary injury is greatest • obliteration of capillaries one mechanism of anti-tumor action • thrombosis, rupture, fibrosis • occasionally lymphocytic vasculitis • venous lesions are uncommon

  6. Figure 3 Induction of neointima post external beam radiation

  7. Venezuelan study the late loss is too high 0.44 0.40 0.33 0.32 0.28 0.27 0.26 0.25 Condado LRT MARCATOR BENESTENT HELVETICA CARPORT MERCATOR PARK Figure 4: late loss (millimeters) Condado J, Circulation 1997;96:727

  8. 3 questions on radiation • Q: Is arterial radiation feasible? A: “Yes” • Q: Is it safe? A: “We doubt it” • Q: Is it efficacious? A:”We don’t think so” Serruys et al, Circulation 1997;96:709-712

  13. BERT trial • restenosis rate of 17% • 6 patients with an “edge problem” • overall restenosis rate of 25%

  14. Beta emitting stents and restenosis 56.0% (10/18) 50.0% (1/2) 45.0% (5/11) 39.0% (11/28) 0.75-3 uCi 3-6 uCi 6-12 uCi 12-20 uCi Figure 9 Restenosis in the treated and adjacent segments

  16. Figure 11 Neointimal hyperplasia at former sites of radiation

  17. The BRIE trial • European registry, 150 patients • PTCA up to 2 vessels • Beta-Cath system, 90-Sr/Y • 12,14,16 Gy to 2 mm from source • target vessel restenosis 30% • late loss index 13% Serruys, 1999
