The Problem of In-stent Restenosis and Reocclusion Endovascular revascularization of long femoropopliteal lesions is well established today Stents improve patency What to do in case of restenosis or reocclusion?
The Problem of In-stent Restenosis and Reocclusion
The Problem of In-stent Restenosis and Reocclusion Classification of ISR In-Stent Occlusions are at high risk for recurrent ISR after re-intervention
The Problem of In-stent Restenosis and Reocclusion Specific endovascular strategies are needed to open the stent BEFORE angioplasty/ptx application

Rotarex mechanical debulking in In-stent procedures Summary Mechanical debulking with the Rotarex-catheter resulted in a high procedural success rate of 96.4% The low rate of procedural complications and 30 day clinical events supports the safety of the device The 12-months TLR rate of 12.7% in a real world scenario demonstrates the clinical effectiveness of Rotarex mechanical debulking for In-stent procedures
Rotarex mechanical debulking in In-stent procedures Summary The removal of stent-occluding material with the Rotarex before adjunctive therapy (DCB) appears to be a reasonable approach
