Long-term outcomes following drug-coated balloons versus thin-strut drug-eluting stents for treatment of in-stent restenosis in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD Dragon-Registry).

ABSTRACT: We sought to investigated the outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and drug-eluting stent (DES)-in-stent restenosis (ISR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a drug-coated balloon (DCB) or thin strut drug-eluting stent (thin-DES). Consecutive patients with DES-ISR who underwent PCI with a thin-DES or a paclitaxel-coated DCB for DES-ISR were enrolled. The primary outcome was target lesion revascularization (TLR), while the secondary was target vessel revascularization (TVR) and device-oriented composite endpoint (DOCE). The pooled analysis included 1,317 patients, with 585 (44.42%) treated using a thin-DES and 732 (55.58%) by DCB. In the crude analysis of CKD patients (n = 286) undergoing PCI for ISR, thin-DES vs. DCB showed similar outcomes for TLR (h
