We report the use of excimer-laser angioplasty for the treatment of Wiktor and Gianturco-Roubin in-stent restenosis of in two patients. Case 1-a 48-year-old man presented unstable angina five months after Wiktor stent was deployed in right coronary artery. Cardiac catheterization revealed stenosis (95) within the stent. Case 2-a 65-year-old man presented stable angina four months after Gianturco-Roubin stent was deployed in left anterior descending artery. Cardiac catheterization revealed stenosis (80) within the stent. Excimer-laser angioplasty within the stent reduced the stenosis to 19and 30, respectively. The patients recovered and currently, six months post-procedure, are free of chest pain, and cardiac catheterization revealed stenosis to 30and 35, respectively, within the stent. Therefore, the procedure was an effective means of treating restenosis after coronary stent placement, and a prospective comparison of excimer-laser angioplasty and other management alternatives to in-stent restenosis is needed.
