What Is Balloon Angioplasty?
Balloon angioplasty is done in the catheterization laboratory (“cath lab”). The doctor injects a special dye through a small, thin tube called a catheter into your bloodstream. The dye allows the doctor to view your arteries on an X-ray monitor. A device with a small balloon catheter on its tip is then inserted through an […]

Use of Drug-coated Balloons in Coronary Arteries to Treat In-stent Restenosis
Coronary artery in-stent restenosis (ISR) is observed in about 10 percent of patients who undergo a drug eluting stent (DES) implantation and in more than 30 percent of patients who undergo balloon catheter bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation. Three DEBs for the coronaries have now been granted FDA breakthrough device designation to help expedite the approval […]
Safety Questions on Paclitaxel Coated Balloons
The safety of paclitaxel eluting stents and drug-coated balloon catheter was first brought into question by a meta-analysis published in Journal of the American Heart Association in December 2018. That analysis showed a higher mortality rate at two years post-procedure and prompted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to release its first warning letter […]
Clinical Application of Drug-Coated Balloon in The Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease
Drug-coated balloon catheter(DCB) is a new treatment strategy for coronary artery disease, which is mostly used for the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) after bare-metal stents and drug-eluting stents. Recent studies have shown that DCB has good efficacy and safety in patients with small vessel disease and high risk of bleeding. Recently, the international DCB […]
How to Optimize the Use of Drug Coated Balloon in Peripheral Arterial Disease?
At present, whether it is the possibility of drug-coated balloon (DCB) as a substitute for stent or its use method is still controversial. There is still room for improvement in the use of DCB. If the drug coating of DCB only acts on the target lesions, the amount of drug lost into the circulation of […]
