Background: Stents are now widely used in Hong Kong and China and there is a clinical impression that restenosis is less common because of the lower prevalence of coronary artery disease and associated risk factors in the Chinese. However, there are no published data on angiographic stent restenosis rates in Chinese patients.
Method: In a prospective study of 114 consecutive Chinese patients who underwent coronary stenting, quantitative coronary analyses were made at the time of stent implantation and subsequently at 6 months post-stenting (n = 97).
Results: At 6 months, restenosis (> or = 50% diameter stenosis in the dilated segment) was present in 42 (43.3%) of the 97 patients and 54 (33.5%) of the total 161 lesions stented. Vessel reference diameter (VRD) of < 3 mm and stented length of > or = 18 mm were associated with higher restenosis rates (36% and 38%). Compared to those without, those with restenosis had a greater residual stenosis of 16.53+/-11.54% and smaller final minimal luminal diameter (MLD) of 2.41+/-0.49 mm, (p < 0.01 and p < 0.008 respectively). Standard coronary risk factors were not associated with a higher rate of restenosis. Lesion morphology was significantly associated with restenosis.
Conclusion: Coronary stenting in Hong Kong Chinese patients is associated with a restenosis rate comparable to that demonstrated in previously published trials from populations in the West.

The predictive factors for in-stent restenosis after interventional treatment of chronic carotid artery occlusion.

Background: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a potential severe complication that occurs in patients with severe carotid artery narrowing after carotid angioplasty and stent placement. However, this phenomenon has not been fully studied in the context of interventional treatment for chronic internal carotid artery occlusion (CICAO).
Purpose: To quantify the ISR rate and identify the risk factors leading to this event.

Importance: Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty has emerged as an alternative to drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) as well as de novo coronary artery disease.
Observations: DCBs are balloons coated with antiproliferative agents and excipients, whose aim is to foster favorable vessel healing after appropriate lesion preparation. By providing homogeneous antiproliferative drug delivery in the absence of permanent foreign body implantation, DCBs offer multiple advantages over DES, including preservation of vessel anatomy and function and positive vessel remodeling.

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.

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have an increased risk of in stent restenosis (ISR). Neovascularization (NV) is considered as a unique pathophysiology factor of ISR in diabetic patients. However, the restructuring patterns of in vivo human coronary NV and their relationship with ISR, especially in diabetic patients remain unclear.

Unlabelled: Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital anomaly that may involve aneurysmal formations. During endovascular treatment for PSA aneurysm (PSAA) occlusion, guidewire crossing can be challenging due to complex anatomy. We report successful endovascular intervention for PSAA occlusion using the "direct tip injection in occlusive lesions (DIOL)" fashion, in which hydraulic pressure with contrast facilitates guidewire crossing by visualizing the vessel course and expanding the microchannel and vessel lumen.
