Author: Dr. Bruno Garcia, Hospital Universitari Vall Hebrón, Barcelona (Spain)

 

CONCLUSION

Drug coated ballons should be useful for bifurcated lesions but…

  • There aren’t enough data from studies up to now.
    • (still expert recommendations)
    • is a different scenario than ISR.
    • be aware! Not all DEB are equal.
  • Main practical questions still open:
    • Which order if we stent. (BMS or DES?)
    • Duration of DAPT?
