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. The primary endpoint was target lesion revascularization (TLR), and the secondary endpoints were in-lesion late lumen loss (LLL), all-cause death, myocardial infarction and binary restenosis.

Results: We enrolled 1661 patients from seven randomized clinical trials. Compared with the DES group, the MD (mean difference) of in-lesion LLL was significantly lower in the DCB group (MD -0.19, 95% CI -0.23 to -0.16, < 0.00001, I = 0%). The DCB group showed superiority in small vessel disease (SVD) in in-lesion LLL (MD -0.21, 95% CI -0.34 to -0.08, = 0.001).

Conclusions: The DCB group exhibited a lower in-lesion LLL compared to the DES group, and DCB was not inferior to DES in other endpoints, including in the SVD subgroup. Hence, to our knowledge, DCB is non-inferior to DES for de novo CVD and SVD. DCB in patients with CVD needs further large and long-term clinical trials to demonstrate its long-term efficacy.

Characterizing the accuracy of robotic bronchoscopy in localization & targeting of small pulmonary lesions.

Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg

August 2024

Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.

Purpose: Considering the recent implementation of lung cancer screening guidelines, it is crucial that small pulmonary nodules are accurately diagnosed. There is a significant need for quick, precise, and minimally invasive biopsy methods, especially for patients with small lung lesions in the outer periphery. Robotic bronchoscopy (RB) has recently emerged as a novel solution.

Objectives: This study sought to compare the performance of a novel drug-coated balloon (DCB) (Elutax SV, Aachen Resonance, Germany), with an everolimus-eluting stent (EES) (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) in patients with de novo lesions.

Background: Small vessel coronary artery disease (SVD) represents one of the most attractive fields of application for DCB. To date, several devices have been compared with drug-eluting stents in this setting, with different outcomes.

Background: Drug-eluting balloons (DEB) have significant value for treating coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the merits of using DEB versus drug-eluting stents (DES) to treat CAD remain controversial. Herein, we conducted a meta-analysis to compare the safety and efficacy of DEB and DES for treatment of CAD.

Objectives: Based on a novel paclitaxel-resveratrol drug matrix, the safety and efficacy to inhibit intimal hyperplasia were studied in symptomatic claudicants with morphologically challenging lesions.

Background: The treatment of peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD) with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is limited by occurrence of vessel recoil and neointimal hyperplasia. Drug-coated balloons (DCB) deliver drugs to the arterial wall to potentially reduce the restenosis rate.
