Percutaneous femoral artery angioplasty with stent-in-stent technique and tirofiban administration.

Despite the use of stent implantation along with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, the rate of restenosis in high-risk patients is still high. Some studies have proven the ability of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists to reduce peri- and post-procedural thrombotic complications in endovascular procedures. We present the case of a 62-year-old female with in-stent restenosis who was successfully treated with femoral artery angioplasty with a stent-in-stent technique and tirofiban administration.
