Abstract
Aim To evaluate the results of revascularization of stenotic iliac stents using drug-eluting balloons (DEBs). Material and Methods Seventy-four patients with various levels of iliac stent restenosis were enrolled to study. All restenotic stents were treated using paclitaxel-coated balloons. Results Through a follow-up median period of 24 months (4-24 months), there were no in-stent re-restenosis in 55 patients (74.3%) and there was one in class 1 (1.4%), four in class 2 (5.4%), and fourteen in class 3 (18.9%). Conclusion We conclude that; DEBs can be used for restenotic iliac artery stents for some Type C and D lesions, in addition to Types A and B with satisfacting results.
