The Role of Drug-Coated Balloons in an All-Comer Population: Outcomes from a Two-Center Real-World Registry
: In this two-center real-world registry including predominantly ACS and MVD patients, a DCB-first strategy was associated with low lesion-level event rates and acceptable mid-term clinical outcomes. These findings support the feasibility of a leave-nothing-behind approach in complex coronary disease when meticulous lesion preparation and provisional bailout stenting are applied.
