Background: Treatment of coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains challenging in contemporary clinical applications. Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty offers an effective treatment for ISR. Shenqi is a novel iopromide-based paclitaxel-coated balloon and its clinical safety, effectiveness and angiographic efficacy in patients with ISR have not been investigated.

Methods: A total of 216 subjects with the first occurrence of ISR at 11 investigational sites in China were randomly allocated in a 1:1 fashion to treatment with DCB SeQuent Please or Shenqi. Clinical follow-up was planned at 1, 6, 9 and 12 months, and angiographic follow-up was planned at 9 months. The study was powered for the primary endpoint of 9-month in-segment late loss.

Results: At 9-month follow-up, the in-segment late loss was 0.29 ± 0.43 mm with Shenqi versus 0.30 ± 0.46 mm with SeQuent Please, and the one-sided 97.5% upper confidence limit of the difference was 0.14 mm, achieving noninferiority of Shenqi compared with SeQuent Please (P = 0.002). In total, 12 patients developed target lesion failure (TLF) in the Shenqi group compared with 16 patients in the SeQuent Please group (10.91% versus 15.09%; P = 0.42) within 1 year. TLF was mainly driven by target lesion revascularization (9.09%) followed by target vessel-related myocardial infarction (1.82%) and cardiovascular death (0.91%) in the Shenqi group.

Conclusions: Shenqi DCB was noninferior to SeQuent Please DCB for the primary endpoint of 9-month in-segment late loss. Shenqi DCB may become an attractive alternative treatment for patients with coronary ISR, withholding the need for additional stent implantation.

Background: Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) offer an appealing therapeutic alternative for the treatment of patients with coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR). In-segment late lumen loss, translating into recurrent ISR and the clinical need for target lesion revascularization, represents a well-established and thoroughly investigated limitation of DCB in this setting. However, abrupt vessel occlusion, clinically presenting as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), has not been previously described after DCB therapy for ISR.

Article Synopsis
  • Paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCB) are currently used for treating coronary lesions, but researchers are exploring sirolimus-coated balloons (SCB) as an alternative to see if they perform similarly.
  • A study involving 70 patients across Germany and Switzerland tested the SCB against PCB, focusing on their effectiveness in preventing late lumen loss (LLL) in arteries after 6 months.
  • Results indicated no significant differences between the two treatments in terms of LLL and clinical outcomes, suggesting that SCBs can be a viable alternative to PCBs in coronary interventions.

Background: Coronary angioplasty and stent insertion is a first line treatment for patients with coronary artery disease, however it is complicated in the long-term by in-stent restenosis (ISR) in a proportion of patients with an associated morbidity. Despite this, currently there are no effective treatments available for the prevention of ISR. Repeat percutaneous revascularisation carries increased risks of major adverse cardiovascular events and a higher incidence of stent failure.

Background: Ultrathin-strut stents are considered the future of percutaneous coronary intervention for treating coronary artery disease (CAD). These drug-eluting stents with biodegradable-polymer technology have the potential to improve clinical outcomes in CAD patients.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and performance of newer-generation ultrathin-strut (50 µm) Evermine50 everolimus-eluting stents (EES) in patients with single or multiple long lesions.

Background: In-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a significant challenge in interventional cardiology despite advancements in stent technology. Drug-coated balloons (DCBs), which deliver antiproliferative agents directly to the vessel wall, have emerged as a promising alternative to plain balloon angioplasty for ISR treatment. This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of DCBs compared to plain balloon angioplasty in patients with coronary ISR.
