Is DCB a new valid option for coronary revascularisation?
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session provides an in-depth evaluation of drug-coated balloons (DCB) as a valid option for coronary revascularisation. Topics include two-year follow-up comparisons between paclitaxel and sirolimus-coated balloons, clinical outcomes after bailout stenting post-DCB angioplasty, meta-analyses contrasting DCB and DES for large native coronary artery disease, and...
Metalfree PCI
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore metal-free PCI approaches emphasizing drug-coated balloon angioplasty and bioresorbable scaffold technologies. This session reviews angiographic outcomes in diffuse small vessel disease, bifurcation lesions, and acute myocardial infarction, alongside management strategies for restenosis post-DCB angioplasty, highlighting advancements in minimally invasive coronary interventions.
A randomised trial of sirolimus- versus paclitaxel-coated balloons for de novo coronary lesions
05 Dec 2024
The present study compares a novel sirolimus-coated balloon with a clinically proven paclitaxel-coated balloon for the treatment of de novo coronary lesions, demonstrating non-inferiority in terms of angiographic late lumen loss at 6 months.
