Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Endovascular gamma irradiation of femoropopliteal de novo stenoses immediately after PTA: interim results of prospective randomized controlled trial.
To report an interim analysis of whether centered endovascular irradiation with the iridium 192 ((192)Ir) source immediately after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of de novo femoropopliteal stenoses lowers the restenosis rate. ⋯ Endovascular irradiation with a centered (192)Ir source immediately after PTA of de novo femoropopliteal stenoses reduces the restenosis rate.
