Assessment of Paclitaxel Drug-Coated Balloon-Only Angioplasty for Stent Thrombosis: SPARTAN-ST Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are no data regarding the outcomes of patients with stent thrombosis (ST) being treated with drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty. Our aim was to compare the outcomes of patients with ST treated with DCB vs. a drug eluting stent (DES).

Methods

We excluded patients who died in the cath lab, patients with uncrossable lesions, and patients treated with thrombectomy only. Patient outcomes were obtained from Hospital Episodes Statistics from NHS England. The primary endpoint of this study was the composite of cardiovascular mortality, acute coronary syndrome, or target lesion revascularisation. The data were analysed with Cox regression and
