Drug Coated Balloon Is Less Effective for Treatment of DES In-Stent Restenosis Both in Native Coronary Arteries and Saphenous Vein Grafts: Results From a Bicenter Registry
The paclitaxel drug coated balloon (DCB) is an established treatment for bare metal stent (BMS) in-stent restenosis (ISR) in native coronary arteries. The evidence of DCB-application for drug eluting stent (DES) ISR both in native coronaries and saphenous vein grafts (SVG) is limited. Aim of our study was to compare the differential efficacy of DCB for treatment of BMS- and DES-ISR in native coronary vessels and SVGs.
