Effect of vessel diameter on the clinical benefits of drug-coated balloon angioplasty: Insights from paclitaxel-coated balloon and polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stent studies
Journal: Clinical Research in Cardiology
Year: 2026

In this real-world experience PCB and PF-SES angioplasty were associated with low clinical event rates. There was no difference in clinical efficacy between PCB and PF-SES in large and small vessel PCI in terms of clinically driven TLR and MACE. Previously reported higher rates for clinical events after DCB angioplasty in large coronary vessels ≥ 3 mm could not be observed.
