It was reported that there was in-stent restenosis.The index procedure was performed on (b)(6) 2016.The target vessel was 5mm diameter.A 6mmx150mm eluvia stent was selected for use to treat a previously restenosed lesion.The stent was placed and afterwards the target vessel had a distal diameter of about 3-5mm.11 months after the index procedure, there was reocclusion seen in the target vessel.Lysis therapy was performed and the vessel was open again with positive remodeling recognized.On (b)(6) 2018, the stent had reocclusion again.Lysis therapy was repeated and the following day angiography showed the stent was open with positive remodeling still present.Four weeks later, the stent was reoccluded again.The physician does not have another treatment planned at this time.According to the physician, the origin of the restenosis is not clear.
