Risk of In-stent Re-stenosis
Session Overview
Description
This session discusses the types of stents used to reduce re-stenosis and their success rates.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:

• Compare and contrast the different types of stents and their corresponding risks of re-stenosis

Once a stent has been inserted after angioplasty, it is not without risk of re-stenosis.

It is essential that this condition is recognised early on.

The time scale for re-stenosis is now well recognised.

Patients should be risk stratified and managed appropriately.
