Background: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is still a major concern in interventional cardiology. Drug coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty has been shown to be a promising option in treatment of ISR. However heterogeneity of different DCBs in suppression of neointimal growth has been described in a porcine model of coronary ISR. Therefore, in this registry analysis, we compared two frequently used paclitaxel eluting DCBs, the SeQuent Please and the Pantera Lux DCB.

Methods: 571 patients were treated with DCB angioplasty at the Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf between 2009 and 2012. Follow-up was conducted during ambulatory care at our department. Major adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction [MI] and target lesion revascularization) were registered during hospitalization and follow-up.

Results: Patient characteristics, prior diseases, clinical presentation, ejection fraction, procedural success and lost-for-follow-up did not differ between patients treated with the SeQuent Please and. The Pantera Lux DCB. MACE during hospital course were similar as well (Pantera Lux: 6 patients [1.6%] vs. SeQuent®Please: 3 patients [1.5%], relative risk 1.06, 95% confidence interval 0.3-4.2, P=0.93). Event free survival was significantly longer in patients treated with the Pantera Lux DCB as compared to SeQuent Please DCB (Hazard ratio: 0.65, 95% confidence interval 0.43-0.98; P value of log-rank test: 0.0405).

Conclusion: MACE free survival was longer in Pantera Lux DCB treated patients as compared to SeQuent Please treated patients. This finding has to be confirmed in future clinical trials.

Aims: Drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is an effective treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, literature data indicate that drug-coated balloons (DCBs) may be a valid alternative, particularly for recurrent ISR. We sought to evaluate clinical results on the long-term efficacy of a new DCB for ISR treatment.

Long term outcome after treatment of de novo coronary artery lesions using three different drug coated balloons.

Int J Cardiol

February 2021

Department of Cardiology and Department of Health, Medical and caring Sciences, Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden.

Objective: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of three currently available drug coated balloons (DCB) for the treatment of de-novo coronary lesions.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry. Between 2009 and 2017, three currently available DCB brands used in the treatment of de novo lesions were included.

Background: Prolonged dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in high bleeding risk (HBR) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention can be challenging. We assessed the clinical safety of bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation followed by drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment in HBR patients for whom drug-eluting stent implantation could be problematic in maintaining low ischemic event rate without increasing hemorrhagic events.

Methods: The study included patients with at least 1 de novo lesion who were either under long-term anticoagulant treatment or required semi-urgent non-coronary intervention.

Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty has been shown to be a promising option for the treatment of coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR). We compared the clinical outcomes of patients with ISR who were treated with two commonly used paclitaxel-containing DCBs, the Pantera Lux (PL) and SeQuent Please (SP). A total of 491 patients with 507 ISR lesions [PL-DCB in 127 (26%) patients and SP-DCB in 364 (74%) patients] underwent DCB angioplasty for ISR lesions.

Objective: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a feared complication after coronary stent implantation. Drug-coated balloon (DCB) is being promoted as a treatment option for ISR. However, the benefit-risk ratio of DCB length has not been investigated.
