Drug-Coated Balloons Versus Drug-Eluting Stents or Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty: A Long-Term in-Stent Restenosis Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Balloon angioplasty with drug-coated balloons (DCBs) is frequently used during percutaneous coronary intervention for in-stent restenosis. Despite its frequent use, there is a lack of long-term data on the efficacy of DCB angioplasty. We conducted an investigation on the long-term efficacy outcome of in-stent restenosis, comparing DCBs, drug-eluting stents, and plain old balloon angioplasty.

Methods and results

We conducted a nationwide analysis from the SCAAR (Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry) including in-stent restenosis lesions undergoing coronary angiography between June 11, 2013, and January 14, 2022. The primary outcome of this study was target-lesion revascularization within a 5-year follow-up. Secondary outcomes included all-cause dea
