Editorial: Focus on Drug-Coated Balloons (DCB) in clinical practice
19 Dec 2024
DCBs have undergone extensive development to meet the challenges of minimizing restenosis and maintaining vessel patency. Unlike stents, DCBs deliver an antiproliferative drug directly to the arterial wall without leaving a permanent implant. This approach has proven effective in treating small-vessel disease, in-stent restenosis, and de...
