A Multicenter Trial of Localized Radiation Therapy to Inhibit Restenosis (GAMMA V)
Coronary Artery Disease

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Coronary Artery Disease
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: The patient has a restenosis of >60% (by subjective angiographic determination of the minimal luminal diameter compared to the distal reference diameter) within a native coronary artery which has previously undergone stent placement. The patient has a history, signs of, or laboratory studies that suggest coronary ischemia attributable to the target stenosis. The study target lesion must be located in a restenotic native coronary artery measuring >2.75 and <4.0 mm in diameter and 45 mm in length. The target lesion must have undergone coronary interventional treatment >4 weeks previously. The vessel 1 cm distal to the target lesion is >2.5 mm in diameter. 5 Patients age must be >18 years and <85 years. Exclusion Criteria: Attempts to treat lesions in other vessels during the procedure were unsuccessful. The patient sustained a recent (<72 hours) myocardial infarction defined as a serum CK 2x the upper limit of normal and elevated MB. Serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dl. The left ventricular ejection fraction is <40%.
