Background
In-stent restenosis (ISR) is the most frequent late complication of stent implantation. It occurs when there is a reoccurrence of stenosis around a lesion that has been treated with a stent. Although ISR has typically occurred in 10-80% of treated lesions, its incidence has been dramatically reduced by the development of drug-eluting stents.
Certain factors are known to increase the risk of in-stent restenosis, including those that are related to the patient, the lesion, and the procedure. Patient-related factors include diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease.
