About this trial

Studies exploring the feasibility of drug-eluting balloon (DCB) in de-novo coronary lesions are limited. There are scarce data comparing DCB with drug-eluting stent (DES) in patients with high bleeding risk (HBR), a situation in which long-term maintenance of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is a clinical dilemma. This target trial emulation aims to compare clinical outcomes between DCB angioplasty and conventional DES implantation in de-novo coronary lesions in patients with coronary artery disease.
