We report about a patient with twice recurrence of femoral in-stent restenoses. Centered endoluminal gamma-irradiation with 192 iridium was performed immediately after the second stent recanalization. The irradiation dose was 14 Gy calculated at 2-mm depth of vessel wall. One-year follow-up demonstrates neither clinical nor angiographic evidence of restenosis.

RotarexS rotational atherectomy combined with drug-coated balloon angioplasty for treating femoropopliteal artery in-stent restenosis.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the safety and mid-term outcomes of a hybrid treatment method combining rotational atherectomy (RA) with drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty in patients with femoropopliteal artery in-stent restenosis (ISR).
Methods: This single-center retrospective study enrolled patients from January 2018 to March 2022 who had femoropopliteal artery in-stent restenosis treated by RA and DCB. Preoperative demographics, operative details, and postoperative 12-month follow-up outcomes were analyzed statistically.

Objectives: The use of homograft for vascular reconstruction is a common practice in infective setting or to prevent aneurysmal dilation over the time. The use of fresh arterial homograft is conversely rarely reported.
Methods: We report a case about the use of fresh arterial homograft as a substitute of carotid intra-stent stenosis.

Background: There are limited data on the mechanism of the Rotarex Rotational Excisional Atherectomy System in treating femoropopliteal arterial disease. The Rotarex iDissection study is a prospective, single center study evaluating the extent of excision and dissection in de novo and restenotic (not in-stent) lesions of the femoropopliteal arteries in symptomatic peripheral arterial disease patients.
Methods: Consecutive patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease were prospectively enrolled in the Rotarex iDissection study at a single US center after obtaining informed consent.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects more than 230 million adults worldwide. Revascularization via angioplasty is a common method to manage stenosis in the superficial femoral artery (SFA). In-stent restenosis, however, is a common complication in endovascular interventions, especially in the SFA.
