lead to further right-heart stress and a lack of improvement in TV pa-
thology. We also examined the type of MR (degenerative vs functional)
and LV dimensions but did not find that baseline pathology of the mitral
valve or LV was associated with TR reduction.
This study found that elevated PASP was not associated with re-
sidual TR, similar to previous publications.
5
However, this study did not
differentiate the etiology of pulmonary hypertension. Future studies
would benefit from, using invasive hemodynamics, evaluating the type
of pulmonary hypertension (precapillary, postcapillary, or mixed) and its
subsequent association with TR reduction. To our knowledge, this is the
first publication to demonstrate a relationship between dilated right
atrium with residual TR. The RA size was not evaluated in previous
studies.
5-7
The explanation of larger RA size resulting in higher rates of
residual TR may imply that atrial functional TR is less likely to improve. It
could also mean that the chronicity of TR plays a role, with longstanding
TR associated with RA dilation.
Although previous studies found that RV systolic dysfunction in-
creases the chances of residual TR after M-TEER, neither RV dimensions
and/or function correlated with residual TR in this study.
11
RV findings
such as RV area, TAPSE, and TAD were also not predictors of TR
improvement. These data warrant further investigation with magnetic
resonance imaging and/or strain imaging to understand what RV size/-
function will limit TR improvement. Previous surgical and transcatheter
literature has found that larger TAD is less likely to show TR improvement,
but this study found that TAD was not associated with residual TR. Future
studies will have to examine this relationship, to understand the differ-
ence in surgical versus transcatheter TR improvement.
TR has long been associated with the presence of a CIED; however,
this study did not find whether patients with a CIED experienced a more
residual TR than those without. Theoretically, patients with CIED-
mediated TR (ie, lead impingement on the TV) would not show TR
improvement despite successful MR reduction.
12
It is unclear how many
patients in this study experienced CIED-mediated TR because the pri-
mary focus on transesophageal echocardiography was the mitral valve.
Previous publications also found that, after M-TEER, the presence of
CIED does not affect TR improvement.
5-7
Therefore, thorough TV im-
aging is required in such cases to rule out CIED-mediated TR. In cases
with no lead impingement, we can expect that TR improvement is as
common for patients without CIED.
Clinical applicability
Reliably predicting which patients with concomitant MR and TR will
improve after isolated MR therapy is becoming increasingly important.
Current trials are evaluating the use of M-TEER versus surgery in pa-
tients with intermediate and low surgical risk: for example, REPAIR MR
(NCT04198870) and PRIMARY (NCT05051033). When guidelines
expand to offer lower-risk patients transcatheter mitral therapies, it must
be considered that TR may not improve. Until transcatheter tricuspid
therapies are more established, patients with concomitant TR must then
be strongly considered for surgery.
Our findings indicate that the degree of MR reduction was the only
reliable predictor of TR reduction. However, it is difficult to anticipate
which patients will have unsuccessful M-TEER. With transcatheter mitral
valve replacement technologies on the horizon, a greater reduction of
MR may be anticipated with replacement devices. If the abolishment of
MR is the most effective for TR reduction, isolated MR therapy that yield
greater MR reduction (ie, transcatheter mitral valve replacement) may
be favored in patients with concomitant MR and TR.
Limitations
This study was a retrospective study. Six echocardiographic spe-
cialists interpreted the TR severity and echocardiographic parameters,
so variability among readers may exist. The follow-up period was any-
where from 1 month to 6 months. Most of them were within 2 months,
and a longer-term follow-up was poor because many 1-year echocar-
diograms were not performed. Ideally, a longer-term follow-up would
provide more time for remodeling and reassessment of TR. However,
previous data show that TR improvement is an early phenomenon
(primarily occurring within the first months).
7
TR is a dynamic process and volume shifts may affect the degree of
TR. Follow-up echocardiograms occurred at ~1 month postoperatively,
and volume status of the patients was not reported.
Conclusion
There are few clinical and echocardi ographic predictors of severe
TR after M-TEER. Overall, severe residual TR is common after M -TEER
and difficult to predict. This study highlights the importance of
establishing transcatheter TV therapies for such patients.

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has been associated with worse out-
comes with increasing severity. Community-based echocardiographic
studies of asymptomatic patients demonstrated the prevalence of at
least moderate TR or greater can range from 3% to 8%, with 1-
year–adjusted mortality rates for moderate TR at 29.5% and severe TR
at 45.6%.
1,2
The 2020 ACC/AHA guidelines define a staging system for
TR with 3 principal stages: progressive TR (stage B), asymptomatic se-
vere TR (stage C), and symptomatic severe TR (stage D).
3
It is a class I
recommendation that concomitant tricuspid valve surgery be per-
formed in patients with stage C or D TR undergoing left-sided valvular
surgery. Progressive stage B TR by definition is clinically asymptomatic
with no hemodynamic consequences. A study examining patients with
stage B TR who underwent isolated left-sided valvular surgery showed
that those with a tricuspid annular diastolic diameter of >40.0 mm (or
>21.0 mm/m
2
) who did not undergo concomitant tricuspid annulo-
plasty had worse New York Heart Association functional class and
worsening TR by more than 2 grades in 5-10 years of follow-up.
4
This
supported a class 2a recommendation for patients with stage B TR to
undergo concomitant tricuspid valve surgery at the time of left-sided
valve surgery.
For patients who are not suitable conventional surgical candidates
for concomitant mitral and tricuspid valve repair/replacement, trans-
catheter therapies may be considered. Currently, no commercially
available FDA-approved transcatheter therapy exists for TR in the
United States. Therefore, these patients are often evaluated for isolated
mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (m-TEER) with the goal of
improving TR by reducing pulmonary arterial (PA) pressures due to
severe mitral regurgitation (MR). Unlike the strength of recommenda-
tions guiding surgical intervention, rigorous evidence on the trans-
catheter management of coexisting MR and TR is lacking.
Approximately 60% of patients undergoing m-TEER also have moder-
ate or greater TR with significantly decreased 1-year survival in patients
with residual severe TR compared with those with lesser degrees of TR
after m-TEER.
5
This is consistent with subgroup analyses from the
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Interventions (TRAMI) and Getting Reduction
of Mitral Insufficiency by Percutaneous Clip Implantation (GRASP) reg-
istries that showed worse 12-month outcomes of mortality, rehospital-
ization for heart failure, and major adverse cardiovascular and
cerebrovascular events.

present prospectively collected registry data analyzed
retrospectively in a single-hospital system comprising 4 high volume
m-TEER centers. Their goal was to identify predictors of severe TR at the
1-month follow-up transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) after m-TEER.
TR improvement was defined as a reduction in TR grade by at least 1þ
resulting in moderate (2þ) or less TR. Approximately half of the patients
who underwent successful MR reduction also experienced significant
TR reduction. Multivariate analyses showed MR reduction of 3þ as the
only predictor of significant TR reduction. Univariate predictors of se-
vere residual TR were right atrial area and unsuccessful m-TEER. Other
factors such as atrial arrhythmia, previous cardiac implantable electronic
device, mechanism of MR, tricuspid annular dilation, right ventricular
(RV) function, PA systolic pressure, and left ventricular (LV) dimensions
did not reach statistical significance.
The authors should be commended on their report of the largest
analysis to date on significant predictors of severe TR after m-TEER.
However, several limitations should be noted. First, methodologic chal-
lenges and the small sample size in a single-system limit the study’spo-
tentiallarger scale effect. The numberof operators and their experience is
not known, which may affect procedural success and outcomes. In addi-
tion, all baseline covariates were TTE-based parameters although all pa-
tients underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance for
m-TEER. Baseline TEE mitral and tricuspid valve parameters were a po-
tential valuable missed repository of important analyzable predictors. For
example,baselinetricuspid coaptation gap, althoughnot directly studied
in this context, has been shown to affect tricuspid-TEER procedural strat-
egyand success.
9
Because>90% of the TRpathologyin thestudy Basman
et al was functional, baseline coaptation gap and its correlation with ulti-
mate TR reduction could be very relevant. In addition, other pertinent
baselineTEE covariates could have been examined such as quantification
of TR by proximal isovelocity surface area and tricuspid annular

measurements. For degenerative MR, qualitative and quantitative char-
acterization of the MR pathology on TEE such as myxomatousdiseaseand
flail width/gap are important to understand the severity of degenerative
MR in this cohort andcontextualize the observedoutcomes. Even though
45% of the cohort had functional MR, thedegreeof LV systolicdysfunction
was not quantified. Rather, LV dysfunction was analyzed as a binary vari-
able that does not accurately capture the effect of varying degrees of
baselinecardiomyopathy on MR reduction after m-TEER and consequent
TR outcomes. Procedural informationis alsonot available such as average
number of clips per case, type of clip(s), and end-procedural/short-term
follow-up mitral mean gradient. Iatrogenic mitral stenosis from m-TEER
could significantly increaseresultant TR. Regarding the span of the study,
only30-dayfollow-upwas analyzed when12-monthoutcomeswouldhave
had more significance. Pre-procedure and post-procedure brain natri-
uretic peptide levelsand TTE inferior vena cava assessment could also be
an important gauge of volume status that could affect follow-up TR
assessment. Finally, quantifying TR based on the ACC/AHA staging sys-
tem instead of the routinely cited 5-grade system may have more rele-
vance in future guideline derivation.
The authors’ primary conclusion of significant MR reduction as a
predictor of significant TR reduction is intuitive but not necessarily ad-
ditive. Physiologically, it can be explained by the effective reduction of
left atrial pressure leading to consequent reduction in mean PApressure
and TR reduction. The authors acknowledge the inability to account for
the presence of intrinsic PA hypertension. Although PA systolic pressure
was not found to be a significant risk factor for severe residual TR, TTE-
derived pulmonary vascular resistance could have been explored as an
important covariate. The authors also report that right atrial area was a
predictor of severe residual TR in univariate analyses, but not RV
dysfunction. RV dysfunction, similar to the LV, was also treated cate-
gorically (moderate or severe). Quantification of RV ejection fraction, RV
area, and tricuspid annular dilation assessed by pre- and post-cardiac
magnetic resonance imaging may help refine our understanding on the
role of right atrioventricular remodeling on TR reduction. Strain analyses
could have also strengthened the study findings. One study demon-
strated improvement in RV free-wall global longitudinal strain at 12
months after m-TEER, but not LV strain.
10
This may suggest that the RV
may be more able to reverse remodel in response to improvements in
PA pressure. Longitudinal changes in RV strain may play an important
role in predicting residual TR after m-TEER.
The recently published 5-year COAPT trial data and the ongoing
REPAIR-MR and PRIMARY trials may expand m-TEER to larger patient
populations.
11
If m-TEER in the future reaches a comparable ubiquity
with transcatheter aortic valve replacement, studies similar to the one
reported by Basman et al are warranted to identify salient predictors of
significant TR reduction in patients with severe MR treated with
m-TEER. The generalizability of this study is confined by the sample size
and single-system experience. Limited clinical and TTE-based
covariates and the absence of longer-term follow-up cap the study’s
ability to be practice-changing. Despite these limitations, Basman et al
provide essential insight into predicting severe TR after m-TEER. Future
studies in larger cohorts using hemodynamic parameters and multi-
modality imaging will help elucidate in which patients residual TR after
m-TEER is a bystander responsive to reduction in PA pressure or an
accomplice to severe MR that will continue to portend a poor prognosis
even after successful m-TEER.

Letter to the Editor
Response to Letter to the Editor regarding the article “Comparison of
Large-Bore Thrombectomy With Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis for the
Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism”
We appreciate the additional information from Giunio et al
1
regarding the feasibility of antecubital access pigtail catheter for me-
chanical thrombus fragmentation and adjunctive catheter-directed
thrombolysis (CDT) based on their previously published retrospective
review of 27 consecutive patients. Indeed, ultrasound-assisted CDT has
been studied against pigtail catheter CDT in a small cohort previously,
which demonstrated similar mortality outcomes and similar reductions
in pulmonary artery pressure and Miller score, but with decreased
infusion times and lower total tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) infu-
sion rates in the ultrasound-assisted CDT cohort.
2
In a recent
meta-analysis assessing ultrasound-assisted versus standard catheter
CDT, no difference was noted in major outcomes between the 2 mo-
dalities, including mortality and major bleeding.
3
Moreover, the dose of
tPA and duration of infusion were noted to be lower in this larger
analysis but was not statistically significant. We recognize the potential
economic advantages of using either a standard catheter or pigtail
catheter for CDT, although propose that potential decreased infusion
times and tPA doses may reduce overall hospital costs in minimizing
intensive care unit stay, decreasing bleeding risks, and improving pa-
tient satisfaction. Cost-analysis factoring these other components into
consideration may be of interest.
Our initial analysis
4
evaluated the outcomes of CDT in comparison
with large-bore thrombectomy (LBT) in our institution’s experience,
given the lack of randomized data comparing the 2 different modal-
ities to date. Because there is no difference in major outcomes be-
tween ultrasound-assisted CDT and standard catheter CDT, we
believe our findings may still be translated to facilities using standard
catheter CDT as t he primary modality of endovascular therapy. Given
the nonrandomized nature of our patient cohort and the increasing
ability to treat more hemodynamically unstable p atients with
venoarterial-extracorporea l membrane oxygenation followed by
adjunctive LBT, we recognize there a re intrinsic differences in be-
tween our patient po pulation. Nonetheless, regardless of the differ-
ences between our coh orts, mortality outcomes were not statistically
different ba sed on univariate, multivariate, and inverse propensity
weighting. We look forward to ongoing trials evaluating outcomes of
CDT and LBT to help further our understanding of matching optimal
modality to patient selection.

ABSTRACT
Stent failure remains the major drawback to the use of coronary stents as a revascularization strategy. Recent advances in imaging have substantially
improved our understanding of the mechanisms underlying these occurrences, which have in common numerous clinical risk factors and mechanical ele-
ments at the time of stent implantation. In-stent restenosis remains a common clinical problem despite numerous improvements in-stent design and polymer
coatings over the past 2 decades. It generates significant health care cost and is associated with an increased risk of death and rehospitalization. Stent

encountered, imaging should be strongly considered to optimize the subsequent approach.

Introduction
Coronary stenting has transformed revascularization strategy, pro-
ducing excellent procedural and clinical outcomes in myriad clinical
settings. Despite proven short and long-term benefits, in-stent reste-
nosis (ISR) and stent thrombosis (ST) continue to be limitations. There
remains no definitive management approach for either condition
despite a greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms ensuing
from advances in intracoronary imaging.
In this Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI)
Expert Consensus Statement, practical algorithmic approaches to ISR
and ST are offered. A pragmatic outline of assessment and management
of patients presenting with stent failure is presented. A new SCAI clas-
sification that is time-sensitive with mechanistic implications of ISR is
proposed. Emphasis is placed on frequent use of intracoronary imaging
and assessment of timing to determine the precise etiology, as that in-
formation is crucial to guide selection of the best treatment option.
Methodology
This statement has been developed according to SCAI Publications
Committee policies for writing group composition, disclosure and
management of relationships with industry, internal and external review,
and organizational approval. Detailed author disclosures are included
as Supplemental Table 1. The work of the writing committee was
supported exclusively by SCAI, a nonprofit medical specialty society,
without commercial support. Writing group members contributed to
this effort on a volunteer basis and did not receive payment from SCAI.
Group members in each section performed literature searches, and the
section leads in collaboration authored initial section drafts with other
members of the writing group. The draft manuscript was peer reviewed
in February 2023 and the document was revised to address pertinent
comments. The writing group unanimously approved the final version
of the document. The SCAI Publications Committee and Executive
Committee endorsed the document as official society guidance in
March 2023. SCAI statements are primarily intended to help clinicians
make decisions about treatment alternatives. Clinicians also must
consider the clinical presentation, setting, and preferences of individual
patients to make judgments about the optimal approach.
In-stent restenosis
ISR remains a common clinical problem despite numerous im-
provements in-stent design and polymer coatings over the past 2 de-
cades. ISR generates significant health care cost and is associated with
an increased risk of death and rehospitalization. The incidence of ISR is
10%; 25% of ISR cases present with acute myocardial infarction (MI) with
a 30-day mortality rate of 10% to 25%.
1–4
Risk factors
Clinical. The incidence of ISR varies depending on individual pa-
tient, angiographic and procedural characteristics as listed in
Table 1.
1–15
Second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) have a 5.7%
ISR rate in patients without diabetes, and 8.7% rate in those with dia-
betes.
5
Beyond 1 year, there is a gradual increase in major adverse
cardiovascular events (MACE); the 5-year ISR rate is 9% to 12% in
noncomplex lesions.
6
Recurrent ISR is not unusual in contemporary practice. The failure to
appreciate and address the original mechanism of ISR underlies re-
fractory cases of recurrence. As in first ISR, the use of intracoronary
imaging may provide insights into the underlying mechanisms. Recur-
rent ISR occurs in approximately 20% of all ISR cases.
7,8
Recurrence is
independently predicted by the number of stents placed at the loca-
tion.
9,10
The 1-year MACE (43.1%) and target lesion revascularization
(41.2%) rates were significantly higher in the 3 stent layer group than
in the 1-stent-layer and 2-stent-layer groups. Importantly, on multivari-
able analysis, the number of metallic layers and hemodialysis require-
ment were identified as independent predictors of MACE. A third layer
of metal is almost always associated with underexpansion and should
be avoided.
Pathogenesis and contributory factors
The preferred treatment strategy depends on a precise diagnosis
and understanding of the cause. Consequently, identifying the mech-
anism in each case using intracoronary imaging and optimizing the
interventional result are critical steps (Table 1).
Biologic factors. The primary biologic mechanism of ISR is neointimal
tissue proliferation or hyperplasia, an exaggerated homeostatic healing
response to arterial wall damage sustained during stent implantation.
1
The distribution of neointimal tissue proliferation may be focal or diffuse
along the length of the stent. Causative factors are local inflammation
resulting from mechanical disruption of the intima/media leading to
aggressive neointimal hyperplasia/proliferation that consists of smooth
muscle cells and extracellular matrix. Hypersensitivity reactions to the
metal and/or the polymer of early-generation DES are also recognized
mechanisms of neointimal hyperplasia.
1
Neoatherosclerosis is an increasingly recognized mechanism of
stent failure seen with current generation DES. It is characterized by
accumulation of lipid-laden foamy macrophages sometimes with
necrotic core formation within stented segments.
16
Injury to the vessel
by balloon inflation and stent deployment stimulates neointima for-
mation. The subsequent intimal and medial damage leads to prolifer-
ation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells, macrophages, and
extracellular matrix formation. These activate the coagulation cascade
and an inflammatory response. This combination of events, along with
elution of antiproliferative drug, inhibits endothelialization. The lack of
endothelium allows incorporation of low-density lipoprotein into the
artery wall early after DES implantation. At later stages, the healed
in-stent neointima is prone to atherosclerosis development.
Additional mechanisms of ISR include elastic recoil and relocation/
subluxation of axially transmitted plaque (tissue intrusion) (especially
early) and reorganization of thrombus, neointima formation, and
remodeling (especially late).
6–16
Mechanical factors. The primary mechanical cause of ISR is under-
expansion. This may result from stent undersizing, low deployment
pressures, or underlying calcified lesions. Other mechanical causes
include stent recoil, longitudinal stent deformation, stent fracture,
crushed stents, dislocated stents, and geographic miss. Geographic
miss results from incorrect placement of the stent so that it does not fully

cover the diseased segment. Stent fracture may be seen at hinge points
in the coronary artery and after stenting a calcified nodule. Other
findings, such as early-stent malapposition, tissue prolapse, and
asymmetry/eccentricity have little or no prognostic value. Stent
underexpansion may occur as a result of undersizing, low deployment
pressures, or heavily calcified lesions.
9–13
Some interventional cardiologists favor routine poststent placement
dilation with high-pressure balloons; while this can be an effective
strategy, it can also lead to edge dissections. Instead, postprocedural
imaging might be a more effective use of time and effort.
Definition and classification
In-stent restenosis is established angiographically as a binary event,
defined as recurrent diameter stenosis at the stent segment >50% of
the vessel diameter.
16
Additional criteria for clinically relevant ISR
include: recurrent angina, objective signs of ischemia, or abnormal
fractional flow reserve.
17–19
Morphologic patterns. Coronary angiography remains the standard
diagnostic method to determine ISR severity and morphologic pattern:
Mehran. The Mehran System
19
classifies restenotic lesions on the basis
of morphology and extent of disease, with 4 subclasses based on
location within the stented segment. Lesions were classified as focal
(class I), diffuse intrastent (class II), diffuse proliferative (class III), and
total occlusion (class IV). This schema was highly relevant to bare metal
stenting (BMS), but its applicability to DES ISR is uncertain.
Waksman. The Waksman ISR Classification
20
is based on mechanistic
considerations informed by intracoronary imaging. There are 5 groups
of DES ISR identified: mechanical (type I; underexpansion I A, stent
fracture I B), biologic (type II; intimal hyperplasia II A, neoatherosclerosis
noncalcified II B, neoatherosclerosis calcified II C), mixed pattern (type
III), chronic total occlusions (type IV), and lesions previously treated with
>2 stents (type V).
Intravascular ultrasound- and optical coherence tomography-based
classifications. Kang et al
21
has proposed an intravascular ultrasound
(IVUS)-based classification that incorporates length of the restenosis as
well as minimal luminal area. Gonzalo et al
22
and Ali et al
23
have pro-
posed optical coherence tomography (OCT) classifications that rely on
both quantitative and qualitative parameters.
Timing. Table 2 is the proposed new SCAI classification incorporating
the cause of ISR based on time from implantation. SCAI recommends
that early (<30 days), late (30 days to 1 year), and very late (>1 year)
timing categories be adopted for all future diagnostic and therapeutic
studies. By integrating mechanistic etiology with timing, this classifi-
cation will be useful to determine best treatment options.
Imaging adjuncts to diagnosis
SCAI strongly recommends routine evaluation by intravascular im-
aging to determine the cause of ISR, to inform therapeutic strategy, and
to confirm effective treatment after percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI).
24–29
Identifying the mechanism of stent failure is paramount
because the causative factors will influence the selection of treatment
and devices to manage the ISR, ultimately impacting the durability of
the repeat revascularization. Despite being the primary means of
assessing ISR in clinical practice, angiography alone is usually inade-
quate because of limited resolution and inherent deficiency in quanti-
fying vessel size, stent size, stent expansion, number of stent layers,
in-stent calcific neoatherosclerosis, and extrastent calcific disease.
Identifying the mechanism of ISR depends on visualizing the stent and
its relation to the arterial wall, rather than the lumen itself.
In contrast to angiography, IVUS and OCT provide detailed
assessment of the native artery and stented segment (Figure 1A, B).
Recent intravascular imaging studies demonstrate that suboptimal stent
deployment is common—occurring in 31% to 58% of patients—and
that suboptimal stent deployment confers an increased risk of adverse
events.
30–33
The relative advantages of IVUS and OCT are summarized
in Table 3.
34,35
Suboptimal minimal stent area (MSA) is a major predictor of stent
failure, and an IVUS optimized MSA of >5.0 mm
2
or OCT optimized
MSA of >4.5 mm
2
are optimal goals. Another useful criterion is to
achieve a target MSA >90% of the closest proximal or distal reference
segment. In addition, intraluminal diagnostic imaging should be per-
formed to ensure that there are no inflow or outflow obstructions within
5 mm of the proximal or distal stent edge. In particular, any major edge
dissections (defined as >60
, >3 mm in length, or penetrating the
media) should be stented.
33–35
Physiologic assessment
Patients with ISR of intermediate range severity on coronary angi-
ography present a clinical challenge because of potential short and
long-term complications, and it is recommended that objective evi-
dence of myocardial ischemia is demonstrated prior to proceeding with
repeat intervention. Even though there are no randomized clinical trials
(RCTs) assessing coronary physiology to guide management of ISR,
there are several retrospective observational trials that suggest that it
may assist in clinical decision-making.
36,37
Deferral of coronary revas-
cularization in patients with ISR and fractional flow reserve >0.80 was
associated with similar outcomes over 36 months to patients with de
novo coronary stenosis.
37
Further studies may define the value of cor-
onary physiology assessment in developing decision strategy before
and after intervention.
Proposed treatment strategies
A summary of existing RCTs and registries,
20,38–51
including clinical
situations in which particular treatment modalities have been shown to
be advantageous, are presented in Table 4.
52–55
The most common
treatment approach for the first episode of ISR is to implant a second
DES, based on the rationale that DES therapy has superior efficacy over
balloon angioplasty alone. However, this is not always necessary and
may not be the best solution, particularly when the reference vessel and
the resultant minimal lumen area are small.
20
If the underlying etiology
is not directly addressed and corrected, there is a high likelihood of
recurrent ISR, and the rate of ISR in second layer DES is high: 12% to
16% at 12 months and 33% at 3 to 5 years.
56–58
General strategic approach. The critical principle is to obtain the
largest acute lumen gain as possible by maximizing the immediate

postprocedural minimal luminal area. To operationalize this concept, a
complete diagnostic evaluation of the cause of ISR must be pursued.
59
An algorithmic approach is provided in Figure 2. Repeat PCI should be
routinely performed following intracoronary imaging assessment. The
mechanism of the initial ISR should be determined, with correction of
any underlying mechanical factors with image guidance to ensure
optimal sizing and expansion. A second stent should be image-guided
to ensure correct stent expansion to ensure appropriate stent
expansion.
Besides repeat DES, a number of adjunct treatments exist that may
be highly effective.
58–69
If there is significant underexpansion, it is
critical to increase expansion by applying high-pressure balloons. If
there is additional hyperplasia, perhaps preparation with scoring/cut-
ting balloons, rotational atherectomy (RA), orbital atherectomy (OAS),
drug-coated balloons (DCBs), vascular brachytherapy (VBT), excimer
laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA), or intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) may
be useful.
When ISR is predominantly because of neointimal hyperplasia,
treatment is dependent on the pattern of ISR. For focal ISR, a high-
pressure or scoring/cutting balloon may be sufficient; ELCA or athe-
rectomy may be beneficial in selected cases. For diffuse ISR, atherec-
tomy or scoring/cutting balloon angioplasty followed by repeat DES
implantation is typically advised.
If stent underexpansion is not because of calcification, atheroa-
blation should be used only if significant neointimal hyperplasia is also
present. RA, OAS, and ELCA may debulk neointima hyperplasia,
although mechanistic evaluations fail to demonstrate this effect. In
cases where intravascular imaging identifies an arc of calcium >270
or
>0.67 mm in thickness, atherectomy vessel preparation should be
considered to optimize lesion and stent expansion.
60–69
If stent underexpansion is due to significant peri-stent calcium
(>90
), RA, OAS, and ELCA may be employed to improve stent
underexpansion by disrupting the calcified plaque behind the stent.
IVL may also be useful. These techniques are associated with cal-
cium modification and/or fracture, and when followed by high-
pressure inflations may reduce stent underexpansion. However, if
unsuccessful, coronary artery bypass grafting may be necessary (see
Figure 3).
Balloon angioplasty. Balloon angioplasty should be the initial step in
focal lesions or if short dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration is
required. In the setting of stent underexpansion, high-pressure non-
compliant balloon inflations are the preferred strategy.
Super high-pressure balloons. Double layer, noncompliant coronary
balloons (OPN NC, SIS Medical) capable of inflation pressures ranging
from 35 to 55 atm have recently become available in the United States.
This class of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty balloon
has performed favorably in severely calcified de novo lesions and may
be a consideration in ISR secondary to an underexpanded stent.

Repeat DES. In general, repeat DES implantation has historically
shown superior results compared with balloon angioplasty alone.
However, this approach should only be undertaken once appropriate
sizing and expansion of the original stent has been assured using
intravascular imaging. A second stent may not be necessary if the
original stent was underdeployed and can be corrected.
If focal edge restenosis, stent gap, or stent fracture is identified,
conventional or high-pressure balloon dilation at the site of the me-
chanical complication should be the initial treatment. This should then
be followed by repeat DES implantation when the ISR is focal. Repeat
DES to cover the entire diseased segment can be performed when the
ISR is diffuse or proliferative, but care should be taken to minimize the
stent coverage as much as possible.
44–52
There is no definitive evidence
regarding which type of DES should be used to treat ISR of a previously
implanted DES, and there is no consensus on whether a different stent
type or drug should be used when an additional DES is implanted.
However, the RIBS III trial
38
assessed the impact of selecting a different
DES for treatment of ISR and demonstrated better angiographic and
clinical outcomes at 9-month follow-up in the cohort that received a
different DES than the first implanted stent.

cutting or scoring elements has been shown in very small series to result
