This is the first documented case of a drug‐coated balloon strategy for the treatment of bioresorbable in‐scaffold restenosis caused by diffuse neointimal proliferation. This case can provide an alternative treatment option in this setting, avoiding potential problems related to further bulky metallic stents in a patient where a different strategy was initially planned. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
