摘要
Background: The evolution of the WRIST (Washington Radiation for In-Stent Restenosis Trial) series has reflected the progress that has been made in intracoronary radiation for in-stent restenosis of coronary artery and saphenous vein graft disease. We have enrolled over 1,500 patients in eleven WRIST series performed at the Washington Hospital Center, providing a unique and powerful data set that is pivotal in our understanding of vascular brachytherapy. Aim: This review is intended to give an overview of the individual trials, summarize pertinent lessons that have been learned and give insight into future of intracoronary radiation.
