Brief summary: Drug-coated balloon (DCB), as an implant-free treatment technique, has been widely used in coronary interventional therapy, effectively solving the problem of restenosis caused by traditional stent implantation, and providing a treatment option for patients with coronary heart disease with high blood risk. However, in DCB treatment of coronary artery lesions, the incidence of dissection is as high as 10-20% when the balloon is predilated, which often requires salvage stent implantation, resulting in the treatment failure of DCB and bringing great hidden dangers to patients. The main reason was that excessive balloon predilation was caused by the standard of vascular anatomy (residual lumen stenosis less than 30%). The resting full cycle ratio (RFR) is a reliable method for determining the presence of functional ischemia in coronary artery lesions and enables immediate detection. We hypothesized that RFR-guided stepped-balloon dilation could reduce the incidence of dissection and increase the success rate of DCB treatment. Fifty patients who planned to receive DCB treatment were randomly divided into balloon dilation alone (n=25) and RFR-guided stepped-balloon dilation group (n=25). The primary endpoint was the success rate of DCB treatment. This study will provide a functional evaluation based balloon predilation method for DCB treatment, making DCB treatment for orthotopic coronary artery disease more safe and effective.

Detailed description: To compare the application of pre-treated lesions with DCB in the treatment of coronary artery disease in situ between the simple balloon dilation group and rFR-guided stepped-balloon dilation group.

It was a single-center, open, prospective, randomized controlled study. Fifty patients with symptoms of myocardial ischemia or relevant evidence for DCB treatment of coronary artery disease in situ were enrolled and randomly divided into balloon dilation group alone (n=25) and rFR-guided step balloon dilation group (n=25).

In the balloon dilation group, the optimal size of the semi-compliant balloon was determined by the surgeon according to angiography (the ratio of balloon to blood vessel was 1.0), and full predilation was performed to achieve residual stenosis. 30% vascular anatomy criteria, and then a 1:1 DCB was selected for drug release; The step balloon expansion group guided by RFR expanded from 2.0mm compliant balloon. After 8atm pressure expansion, the RFR value was measured. If RFR≥0.93, the pre-expansion was stopped. 0.93, RFR value is measured after pressure expansion of 16atm, if RFR\&lt is still; 0.93, then a 2.5mm compliant or non-compliant balloon was used to expand the pressure of 8ATM, and the balloon diameter and expansion pressure were continuously increased until RFR≥0.93, and then A DCB with the same diameter as the pre-expanded balloon was selected for drug release. If c-type or higher dissection or TIMI flow occurs \& LT; Grade 3 patients were given salvage stents.

Collect patient history and improve clinical examination; The occurrence and classification of dissection, final pre-dilated balloon diameter, DCB diameter, incidence of salvage stent implantation, residual stenosis, operation time, and radiation dose were recorded intraoperatively. The incidence of revascularization and angina pectoris during hospitalization were recorded. Minimum lumen diameter and diameter stenosis rate were detected by coronary angiography 9 months after discharge. MACE events were observed 12 months after discharge.

With residual lumens stenosis less than 30% as the criteria the pure balloon pre expansion of coronary artery lesions in situ can result in up to 10-40% of the incidence of retrospective stenting, limits the DCB in coronary artery lesions in situ treatment, the application of quasi simple balloon expansion and pathological changes of RFR guiding ladder balloon expansion of pretreatment in the DCB treatment of coronary artery lesions, the application of in situ To verify that rFR-guided stepped-balloon dilation compared with balloon dilation alone can increase the success rate of DCB in the treatment of orthotopic coronary artery lesions, thus providing a new pre-dilation treatment method for DCB to be more effective and safe in the application of orthotopic coronary artery lesions.
