Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of drug-eluting balloon (DEB) angioplasty and drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in DES in-stent restenosis (ISR) lesions. The results showed that there was no significant difference in target lesion revascularization between the DEB and DES groups during the 7-year follow-up period. However, the DEB group had better safety outcomes, with lower rates of myocardial infarction and target lesion thrombosis.

Summary: The study compared the 1-year clinical outcomes of thin-strut biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) and durable coating everolimus-eluting stent (DP-EES) in diabetic patients, finding no significant differences in efficacy and safety outcomes between the two types of stents.

Summary: This meta-analysis assessed the angiographic and clinical outcomes of DES vs. DCB for patients with DES-ISR, and found that repeat DES implantation was associated with a significant reduction in TLR compared with DCB. Subgroup analysis showed DCB was inferior to NG-DES/EES in TLR, while EES was associated with better angiographic outcomes compared to PES. Overall, treatment with DES, especially NG-DES/EES, could reduce the risk of TLR significantly compared to DCB.

Summary: The probucol coated non-polymeric ultra-thin strut sirolimus eluting stent demonstrated significantly better early strut coverage at 3 months, with a lower rate of uncovered struts.

Summary: The study compared the effectiveness of drug eluting stents (DESs) and drug coated balloons (DCBs) in the treatment of native femoropopliteal artery disease, finding that DCBs achieved more favorable outcomes in certain conditions compared to DESs.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical impact of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), and found that DCB treatment reduced the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with DM, but not in those without DM.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of drug-eluting stent (DES) and paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) angioplasty for in-stent chronic total occlusion (IS-CTO) patients. The results showed that DES and PCB angioplasty had similar long-term outcomes, but both had a high rate of long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACEs).

Summary: A study found that the use of drug-coated balloons and drug-eluting stents in patients with severe-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) was associated with lower mortality and no difference in amputation outcomes within 24 months.

Summary: This randomized comparison study showed that ultrathin-strut drug-eluting stents were noninferior to thin-strut drug-eluting stents in terms of target lesion failure at 1 year, indicating that differences in strut thickness among DES have little impact on clinical outcomes when implanted with intravascular imaging guidance.

Summary: The study evaluated platelet adhesion under single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) in competitive drug-eluting stents (DESs) using in vitro flow loop model and ex vivo swine AV shunt model. The results showed that FP-EES demonstrated superior thromboresistance compared to other polymer-based DESs under SAPT, suggesting FP-EES may have particular advantage for short-term DAPT.

Summary: This study is a high-quality systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the efficacy and safety of DCB and DES in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The results suggest that the use of DCB may be associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and death.

Summary: Drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy shows promising results in reducing the need for recurrent revascularization in drug-eluting stent in-stent restenosis (DES-ISR). In this meta-analysis, the occurrence of major cardiac adverse events (MACE) and target lesion revascularization (TLR) after DCB treatment was assessed. The results support the effectiveness of DCB treatment in early or late DES-ISR.

Summary: The study compared the angioscopic findings among SYNERGY BP-EES, ULTIMASTER BP-SES, and XIENCE Alpine DP-EES 8 months after stent implantation, and found no significant differences in neointimal coverage, yellow plaque grade, or existence of red thrombi. One year after, there was also no significant difference in major adverse cardiac events among the three groups.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of endovascular treatment using drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) in femoropopliteal artery atherosclerotic lesions. The primary patency rates at 1 and 2 years were higher in the DES group, but DES were associated with worsened clinical symptoms and complicated lesion characteristics at the point of patency loss. DES showed better primary patency than DCB, but had some disadvantages in restenotic patterns.

Summary: This study aims to compare the interventional strategies for the treatment of drug-eluting stent (DES) in-stent restenosis (ISR). The comparative efficacy and safety of plain balloon (PB), paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB), and paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of DES-ISR were evaluated for a 10-year follow-up. The results showed no significant difference among the treatments in clinical follow-up and primary endpoints, but PES and PCB were significantly superior to PB in target lesion revascularization.
