DCB PCI: are we ready for complex de novo lesions?
Summary
Evaluate the readiness of drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy for complex de novo coronary lesions. This session reviews comparative outcomes of DCB versus drug-eluting stents (DES) across CHIP risk categories, impacts of diabetes, long-term follow-up data in calcified lesions and left main bifurcations, and treatment of in-stent restenosis in patients with chronic kidney disease.
