Recently, the use of ionizing radiations has received much interest as a new treatment tool to reduce restenosis after angioplasty or stent implantation. There are two main approaches for delivering endovascular radiation: one is based on gamma or beta sources with very high activities to deliver locally through a catheter the dose in a limited period of time. The other approach is based on a stent rendered radioactive for long exposure and continuous low-dose rate treatment. External radiation is also contemplated but indications seem more oriented towards the peripheral vascular system. After a brief introduction to fundamentals of radiobiology, radiation physics and radioprotection, we review the experimental data which have led to large ongoing multicenter trials. The results of these trials involving more than 2000 patients will be available in the next few years and will allow to better define the risk/benefit ratio of this potentially new indication for radiotherapy.
