About this trial

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) often present with diffuse, complex lesions and a higher risk of in-stent restenosis after PCI. While drug-eluting stents (DES) remain the standard treatment, their long-term efficacy in diabetic patients is suboptimal. Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) offer a "leave nothing behind" strategy by delivering anti-proliferative drugs without permanent implants, potentially reducing restenosis and adverse events. Although DCBs have shown promise in selected lesion types, evidence in T2DM patients is limited, particularly from prospective, randomized trials. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCB angioplasty compared to conventional strategies in patients with CAD and T2DM, focusing on angiographic outcomes, symptom relief, and major adverse cardiovascular events.
