Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) versus second-generation drug-eluting stents (DESs) in treating new cases of unprotected left main stem (LMS) disease.
- The research involved 148 patients and found no significant differences in all-cause mortality (19.5% for DCB vs. 15.9% for DES) or cardiac mortality between the two treatment options.
- The results indicate that DCBs are a safe alternative for treating LMS disease, with outcomes similar to DES after a median follow-up of 33 months.
