Safety and Performance of the MOZEC Sirolimus-Eluting Coronary Balloon in the Treatment of Stenotic Coronary Artery Lesions: A Real-World, Multicenter, Post-Marketing Surveillance Study.

Background: Drug-eluting balloons, surface-coated with antiproliferative agents such as sirolimus or paclitaxel, have emerged as an alternative therapeutic option for coronary stenosis. This study evaluated safety and effectiveness of the MOZEC sirolimus-eluting percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) balloon dilation catheter (Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd.

Breaking boundaries: Ticagrelor monotherapy in high-risk patients.

Atherosclerotic plaque formation is a leading cause of arterial thrombosis that significantly impacts global health by instigating major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) like myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Platelets are central to this process, leading to the development of antiplatelet therapies, to mitigate MACE risks. The combination of aspirin with a potent P2Y inhibitor known as dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the standard for post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) aimed at reducing ischemic events.
