AB  - Angioplasty with a paclitaxel-eluting balloon was as effective as implantation of another drug-eluting stent for patients who have in-stent restenosis in the presence of a “limus”-eluting stent. Both procedures were significantly better than plain old balloon angioplasty, according to the results of the Intracoronary Stenting and Angiographic Results: Drug Eluting Stents for In-Stent Restenosis: 3 Treatment Approaches [ISAR-DESIRE 3; NCT00987324] trial.
