Coronary artery disease (CAD)-cardiovascular condition occuring due to atherosclerotic plaque accumulation in the epicardial arteries-is responsible for disabilities of millions of people worldwide and remains the most common single cause of death. Inflammation is the primary pathological mechanism underlying CAD, since is involved in atherosclerotic plaque formation. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a peptide hormone which role extends beyond well-known carbohydrates metabolism.

- The study investigates long-term outcomes of patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) and chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) who underwent PCI using drug-eluting stents (DES) versus drug-coated balloons (DCB).
- Patients treated with DES had significantly lower rates of target lesion revascularization (TLR), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and device-oriented composite events (DOCE) compared to those treated with DCB.
- Overall, the findings suggest that using DES is more effective than DCB for this patient group in reducing revascularization needs over a long-term follow-up period.
