Drug-coated balloon (DCB) technology: A pioneer’s view of the historical evolution and future directions
08 Jan 2025
In this article, Bruno Scheller explores advances in local drug delivery, from drug-coated balloons to novel antiproliferative agents. These innovations aim to reduce restenosis, minimize permanent implants, and pave the way for patient-specific coronary artery disease treatments.

Precision PCI in the era of AI and multimodality imaging
13 Jan 2025
Nailing the ostium of LAD, although technically challenging, can be precisely done with mandatory intracoronary imaging. It is essential to rule out disease extension into left main artery as, otherwise, cross over LM-LAD stenting strategy would be preferable. CTCA can help the interventionist plan the PCI,...
