Are drug-coated balloons effective in PCI with high bleeding risk?
The next step is to compare the balloons with drug-eluting stents, researchers say
Drug-coated balloons are superior to bare metal stents for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in older patients at high bleeding risk, a study shows.
Finnish researchers investigated whether using drug-coated balloons was non-inferior to PCI using bare metal stents for patients with new atherosclerotic coronary-artery lesions and at increased bleeding risk.
