Is cutting balloon angioplasty safe and effective for treating carotid in-stent restenosis?
Cutting balloon angioplasty appears to be a safe and effective alternative treatment for carotid in-stent restenosis, achieving high rates of angiographic resolution without always requiring additional stents.
