N2 - The prognostic role of the angiographic pattern of in-stent restenosis after gamma vascular brachytherapy was assessed from a pooled data set of 4 clinical trials comprising 295 irradiated patients with matched baseline and follow-up angiograms. The binary angiographic restenosis rate increased with worsening in-stent restenosis patterns; however, target lesion revascularization and major adverse cardiac event rates increased for focal, diffuse, and proliferative patterns of in-stent restenosis but not for total occlusions.
