What is this paper about
This paper shows that DCB is not just a technical upgrade over POBA, but a consistently stronger strategy for restenosis-prone vascular disease, with better patency and fewer repeat interventions across coronary ISR, femoropopliteal lesions, BTK disease, and dialysis access. The full paper is worth reading because it reveals where that advantage is most convincing, where technique and vessel preparation change the outcome, and how much of DCB’s real-world value lies in selecting the right lesion, not just the device.
