Use of Drug-Coated Balloons in De Novo Lesions in Large Coronary Vessels

Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty is emerging as a novel treatment for coronary artery disease. Studies evaluating this strategy have demonstrated clinically non-inferior outcomes compared with those of drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in patients with in-stent restenosis and de novo disease in small vessels. However, evidence for the use of DCBs in large coronary vessels is<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/09/28/use-of-drug-coated-balloons-in-de-novo-lesions-in-large-coronary-vessels/" title="Read more" >...</a>

EASTBOURNE Registry: Use of Sirolimus-Coated Balloons in Coronary Artery Disease

The introduction of drug coated balloons (DCB) has become an innovative therapeutic alternative to current treatments. Paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCB) have been used to treat in-stent restenosis (ISR) and also approach CAD in native arteries. More recently, sirolimus-coated balloons (SCB) are being looked at as part of pilot studies and smaller registries with preliminary results.  The<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/08/23/eastbourne-registry-use-of-sirolimus-coated-balloons-in-coronary-artery-disease/" title="Read more" >...</a>

PICCOLETO-II: Drug-Coated Balloons in Small Vessels

Use of drug-coated balloons vs. drug-eluting stents in small caliber vessels. The constant advancements in coronary device technology have significantly reduced complication rates (such as that of restenosis). However, there are gaps where a high number of undesirable events prevail, such as small vessel disease (SVD), for which, in previous studies up, the rate of<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/04/28/piccoleto-ii-drug-coated-balloons-in-small-vessels/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Comparative Study of Two Drug Coated Balloons: Angiographic and Clinical Outcomes

The incidence of in-stent restenosis (ISR) requiring repeat revascularization ranges between 5% and 10% of PCI patients receiving new generation drug eluting stents (DES). This is why the current European guidelines on myocardial revascularization recommend treating ISR with drug coated balloons (DCB) with class I recommendation, level of evidence A.

Drug-Eluting Balloon in STEACS: Leaving No Trace is Beneficial?

Using drug-eluting balloons in patients with ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. The benefits of early reperfusion in ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (STEACS) have not been discussed; compared with fibrinolysis, primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) has shown benefits in terms of mortality.

With the new devices (drug-eluting balloons [DEB], drug-eluting stents [DES], and atherotomes) percutaneous treatment is becoming the first line of approach for femoropopliteal disease, especially when dealing with not very long total occlusions. Randomized studies and registries on the use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in femoropopliteal disease are currently available, but their evolution beyond 2<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/01/30/in-pact-study-should-we-start-using-dcbs-more-frequently-in-cases-of-femoropopliteal-disease/" title="Read more" >...</a>

SURTAVI at 5 Years

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) by transfemoral access has shown great benefit for different risk groups, but its long-term durability is still uncertain. Available evidence comes from small analysis and a single randomized trial with 280 patients and an 8 year follow-up: the NOTION Trial, where TAVR showed less valvular degeneration than aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery.<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/10/17/surtavi-at-5-years/" title="Read more" >...</a>
