      Recently, several clinical trials demonstrated that vascular brachytherapy is effective in reducing restenosis.

      One emerging issue in vascular brachytherapy of in-stent restenosis lesions is that of geographic miss: segments of artery are injured, but not adequately radiated.

      Because this is especially important in longer lesions, tandem positioning was mandated by protocol in the Intimal Hyperplasia Inhibition with Beta In-stent Trial (INHIBIT) in all patients with long, injured segments. We conducted an independent prospective analysis of all patients treated with tandem-source positioning to evaluate the precision of manual stepping and the safety and efficacy of this strategy.
