Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) is a cornerstone of the management of ischemic heart disease. However, in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a significant clinical challenge, occurring in approximately 5-10% of patients undergoing PCI. This study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of the primary therapeutic approaches for DES-ISR, specifically drug-coated balloons (DCBs)-paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCBs) and sirolimus-coated balloons (SCBs)-with a new-generation everolimus-eluting stent (EES), contributing to the evolving field of personalized medicine.
