Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of renal artery stenosis is an attractive alternative to surgical therapy. However, even with endovascular stenting, the overall rate of restenosis is 21%. While brachytherapy for coronary in‐stent restenosis has proven efficacy, its use for renal artery in‐stent restenosis has not been formally evaluated. We report a case of bilateral in‐stent renal artery restenosis treated with endovascular brachytherapy. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2003;59:251–254. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
