Table 3. ISR risk factors.
Patient's factors | Lesion's factors | Peri-procedural risk factors |
Diabetes mellitus | Complex B2/C lesions | Sub-optimal apposition |
Renal insufficiency | Long lesions > 20 mm | Under-expansion of the stent |
Acute coronary syndromes | Artery diameter < 3 mm | Post-PCI MLD < 3 mm |
Chronic closures | Implantation of multiple | |
Ostial lesions | Stents | |
Bifurcation lesions | Stent fractures | |
Lesions in venous bypass recurrent restenosis | Type of stent |
ISR: in-stent restenosis; MLD: minimal lumen diamether; PCI: percutaneous coronary angioplasty.
