We have shown here that 50% of failures after coronary IVBT for DES ISR occur exclusively within the irradiated segment. An additional 20% of patients had failure within and outside of the irradiated segment. These percentages suggest that a higher radiation dose might improve the long-term patency rates, a conclusion that should be tempered by the lack of universal follow-up.
