BRITE I

BRITE I

Balloon-Based Radiation Therapy for Treatment of In-Stent Restenosis in Human Coronary Arteries I. A trial measuring outcomes in 32 patients with ischaemia due to in-stent restenosis at 6 months post-intracoronary beta radiation using a novel radioactive design source.
 
Primary endpoints
Major acute coronary events at 6 months.
 
Conclusion
Beta radiation via a balloon 32P source designed for patients with in-stent restenosis results in less angiographic and clinical restenosis, and fewer late complications.
