Franz,



There was no better result of the restenosis with radiation than without.

The 'explanation' was that the study was at a time when there was difficulty

in placing the irradiator, therefore the location of the stent and the

irradiator were not always co-located, and that new procedures insert them

together so that this problem is eliminated. No indication in the stories I

saw as to whether that aspect of the matter is continuing.  (Over the

following days Novostes share prices plummeted.)



We may be able to find a more complete story if you need more info.



Regards, Jim
