Background: Drug-coated balloons present a potentially advantageous therapeutic approach for managing coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, the comparative benefits of paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCBs) over uncoated balloons (UCBs) remain unclear.

Aims: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of patients treated with PCBs and UCBs.

Recurrent drug eluting stent, in-stent restenosis (DES-ISR): Epidemiology, pathophysiology & treatment.

Prog Cardiovasc Dis

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Virginia Health System, 1215 Lee Street, Charlottesville, VA 22909, United States of America. Electronic address:

Coronary artery in-stent restenosis (ISR) is driven by neointimal hyperplasia and neoatherosclerosis in previously placed stents. Drug eluting stents (DES) have been adopted as first line therapy for the initial episode of ISR. However, recurrent ISR has limited durable salvage options.

Background: Because of the limitations in new-generation drug-eluting stents (DES), treatments advocating for non-stents with a drug-coated balloon (DCB) is now of great interest. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to testify whether a DCB was more effective and safer than a DES in treating de novo coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to obtain high-quality trials comparing DCB with DES for the treatment of de novo CAD.

Recent Advances in the Treatment of Coronary In-Stent Restenosis.

Rev Cardiovasc Med

Department of Cardiology, Bern University Hospital, Inselspital, CH-3010 Bern, Switzerland.

In-stent restenosis (ISR) remains the predominant cause of stent failure and the most common indication for repeat revascularization. Despite technological advances in stent design, ISR continues to pose significant challenges, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions. In the last decade, intravascular imaging has emerged as an important method for identifying the mechanisms behind ISR and guiding its treatment.

An 82-year-old woman with a history of myocardial infarction presented with worsening effort angina. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed 75% stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD), with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) identifying a severe calcified nodule near a previously implanted drug-eluting stent. The lesion was treated with intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) and a drug-coated balloon (DCB), avoiding left main crossover stenting.
