Abstract:
PURPOSE:Symptomatic coronary artery disease is routinely treated with angioplasty and stenting. Unfortunately, treatment failure in the form of in-stent restenosis (ISR) occurs relatively frequently. Intravascular brachytherapy (IVBT) is a safe and effective method proven to markedly reduce the rate of ISR in native coronary arteries. The commercially available devices for IVBT are not FDA-approved for treatment of saphenous vein grafts (SVG). This article presents calculated dosimetry for treatment of a wide range of SVG, in addition to further evaluating the dose homogeneity for native coronary arteries.
METHODS AND MATERIALS:AAPM Task Group 43 and 60 formalisms permitted dose calculations for a wide range of vessel internal diameters (phi) in both native coronary arteries and SVG. Doses were analytically calculated for the Novoste Beta-Cath 5.0 French (F) treatment devices (30, 40, and 60 mm sourcetrains) when employed for the treatment of native vessels with 2.7 journal_name journal_title authors doi keywords: subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn pii journal_volume pub_type
