Authors' objectives: To evaluate safety and effectiveness of the drug-coated balloon (DCB) in PTCA in patients with ischemic disease due to coronary stenosis, either in-stent restenosis or de novo lesions.
Authors' recommendations: Paclitaxel-eluting balloons appear to be more effective in treating in-stent restenosis than conventional balloon angioplasty whereas they did not show superiority when compared with paclitaxel-coated stents. There is not enough evidence over safety and effectiveness of the use of drug-coated balloons in PTCA in de novo lesions. Further larger and well-designed studies with standard and latest comparators as second generation drug-eluting stents are needed to stablish an application in this setting.
