Summary

Discover the power of drug-coated balloon (DCB) technology in modern PCI. Understand the mechanism of action, including antiproliferative agents, drug transfer to the vessel wall, and effective inhibitory level and duration of vessel wall retention. Learn how IVUS can guide optimal lesion preparation, and explore the criteria for delivering effective DCB treatment.
