Application of drug-coated balloons in percutaneous coronary intervention / 中国基层医药

Percutaneous coronary intervention is the main treatment of coronary heart disease. Both the original bare metal stent and drug-coated stent have the possibility of developing in-stent restenosis, and have poor therapeutic effect on small vessel lesions and bifurcation lesions, which limit their clinical application. In recent years, drug-coated balloons have made considerable progress. They provide a new treatment method for in-stent restenosis, chronic total occlusion, bifurcation lesions and small vessel lesions, and can shorten the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy and reduce the risk of bleeding. This paper reviews the clinical research progress of drug-coated balloon.
