A 50-year-old white man presented with in-stent restenosis in April 1998. He had undergone angioplasty with stent implantation for a lesion in the right coronary artery in December 1977, when he was 29 years old. At that time, he was enrolled in a placebo-controlled, randomized trial of γ-irradiation to prevent recurrent in-stent restenosis (Washington Radiation In-Stent Restenosis Trial [WRIST]). This included an intravascular ultrasound substudy. After the dwell time and at follow-up, imaging was performed using a 30-MHz single-element, mechanically rotating transducer (SCIMED/Boston …
