Plaque Modification and Drug Coated Balloons for Treatment of de Novo Calcific Coronary Lesions

Kurzzusammenfassung

The optimal management of severely calcified coronary artery disease remains challenging, particularly in the context of drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and mid-term clinical outcomes of a DCB-only strategy following coronary modification systems (CMS) in patients with heavily calcified de novo coronary atherosclerotic disease.
