The clinical significance of non-obstructive coronary artery disease is the subject of debate. Our objective was to evaluate the long-term cardiovascular prognosis associated with non-obstructive coronary artery disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography, and to conduct a stratification by sex, diabetes, and clinical indication. We designed a multi-centre retrospective longitudinal observational study of 3265 patients that were classified into three groups: normal coronary arteries (lesion <20%, 1426 patients), non-obstructive coronary artery disease (20-50%, 643 patients), and obstructive coronary artery disease (>70%, 1196 patients).

Objectives: This study sought to assess the efficacy of the drug-coated balloon (DCB) ESSENTIAL for the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR).
Background: DCBs have proven a valid therapeutic option for the management of ISR in several clinical trials, yet no class effect can be claimed. Accordingly, every new DCB model has to be individually evaluated through clinical studies.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared percutaneous revascularization and conservative treatment for severe lesions in secondary branches of epicardial arteries to evaluate their effectiveness in preventing cardiovascular events.
- After analyzing data from 679 lesions over an average follow-up of 22.2 months, there were no significant differences in outcomes between the two treatment methods, including rates of cardiovascular death and nonfatal myocardial infarction.
- Key factors linked to increased event occurrence included diabetes, history of acute myocardial infarction, and longer lesion length.
