Abstract
Encouraging results have been obtained with drug-eluting stents (DESs) to prevent restenosis following PCI. However, DESs are not immune from restenosis and we describe a case of "candy wrapper" effect, commonly observed with intracoronary brachytherapy (IBT). In this article, we review the common drawbacks of DES and IBT and their prevention. Copyright 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.Entities:
