The primary objective of this multi-center, international, short term registry is to assess clinical success and efficacy of the paclitaxel eluting balloon treatment for in-stent restenosis at 6-9 months follow up. Clinical success defined as freedom from major adverse cardiac events (MACE: death, myocardial infarction \[MI\], target lesion revascularization \[TLR\]) and target vessel revascularization \[TVR\]) and stent thrombosis, both early and late occurrences will be assessed.
In addition, a cohort of the registry will undergo angiographic follow up at 6-9 months to assess in-stent and in-segment late loss and binary restenosis subsequent to paclitaxel eluting balloon treatment for in-stent restenosis.
A prioi analysis will be comparison of the safety and efficacy of patients presenting with drug-eluting stent in-stent restenosis to bare metal stent in-stent restenosis.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients, male or female, \> 18 years of age;
* Patients who present with in-stent restenosis of a previously placed stent documented by coronary angiogram for which re-PCI is planned;
* The patient has stable or unstable angina, and/or clinical evidence of ischemia (ECG, exercise test, etc.);
* The target lesion is in a native vessel;
* Up to two lesions per patient;
* Target lesion(s) stenosis is \> 50%.
Exclusion Criteria:
* The patient has had an acute myocardial infarction within the last 48 hours;
* The patient has a co-morbid illness (i.e. any illness likely to limit his/her life expectancy to \<12 months);
* Lesion(s) requiring additional stenting either bare metal or drug eluting (non, bail-out indications);
* The patient has had previous therapeutic radiation to the target vessel;
* The patient is unable the take dual antiplatelet therapy for at least 6 months;
* Patients with three or more lesions with in-stent restenosis requiring angioplasty.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
