It recently has been reported that the in-stent restenosis (ISR) of expanded area after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within six months can become a serious postoperative complication. A real-time quantitative PCR was used to analyze the expression of serum miR-21 in 33 ISR and 37 non-ISR patients after PCI. Expression of miR-21 was significantly higher in the ISR group compared with that in the NISR group, and a similar trend also occurred in factor- (TNF-α) level, Interleukin -6 (IL-6) level, and plaque area (PLA). However, a contrary trend occurred in the external elastic membrane area (EEM) and minimal lumen area (MLA). This study suggests that the increased expression of serum miR-21 is related to ISR after PCI, and miR-21 can be a new predictor of ISR.

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.

Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is safe and effective. However, thrombotic complications after ELCA occasionally occur. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of lipid-rich plaque in both in-stent restenosis (ISR) and de novo lesions on thrombus formation and transient no-reflow after ELCA.

Background: Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) offer an appealing therapeutic alternative for the treatment of patients with coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR). In-segment late lumen loss, translating into recurrent ISR and the clinical need for target lesion revascularization, represents a well-established and thoroughly investigated limitation of DCB in this setting. However, abrupt vessel occlusion, clinically presenting as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), has not been previously described after DCB therapy for ISR.

Background: Although optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance with the 'MLDMAX' criteria is very useful for de-novo lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), there are limited studies on its benefits in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR). This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of patients with ISR who underwent repeat PCI (re-PCI) with OCT or angiographic guidance.
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 2142 patients with ISR who underwent re-PCI at Nanjing First Hospital from January 2016 to January 2023.
