What is Known About DCB? 1. They are preferred over simple-pta due to their superior anti-restenotic properties

What is Known About DCB? 1. They are preferred over simple-pta due to their superior anti-restenotic properties 2. They have an advantage over stents as they leave behind nothing but drug, thus avoiding ISR

Conclusion 1. DCB have certain inherent advantages over permanent metallic implant 2. (Early) data suggests DCB appear to be effective in long lesions 3. However, they provide no mechanical support in heavily calcified CTOs 4. In approximately 1/5 will require a provisional stent (combined Rx)
