Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2016 Jul;88(1):60-1. doi: 10.1002/ccd.26642.

Abstract

A scoring or cutting balloon is always useful in preventing slippage during therapy of in-stent restenosis. A drug-coated scoring balloon for in-stent restenosis may be an alternative to a drug-coated balloon Definitive comparison trials are needed and likely to help define their exact role in patients with in-stent restenosis.
