Summary

This session provides a detailed update on drug-coated balloons (DCB) in interventional cardiology, covering the latest clinical data and trials. It identifies scenarios where DCB use is most effective and offers guidance on optimizing procedural techniques to enhance clinical outcomes.

Learning Objectives

  • To get up to date with the latest clinical data and trials on DCB
  • To identify anatomical and clinical scenarios where DCB is most likely to succeed
  • To learn how to optimise your technique and outcomes when using DCB

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Welcome and session objectives
  • How to define optimal lesion preparation
  • Procedural strategies for lesion preparation
  • Angio-based vs. intravascular imaging-based decision-making for DCB vs. DES: any role for physiology?
  • Evidence from randomised controlled trial: in-stent restenosis lost? Something beyond SVD? Recognition in future guidelines?
  • Session evaluation and key learnings
