Encouraging results have been obtained with drug‐eluting stents (DESs) to prevent restenosis following PCI. However, DESs are not immune from restenosis and we describe a case of “candy wrapper” effect, commonly observed with intracoronary brachytherapy (IBT). In this article, we review the common drawbacks of DES and IBT and their prevention. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2004;61:387–391. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
