posted on 2024-01-10, 17:18 authored by Robert ByrneRobert Byrne, Rory Durand

The introduction of drug-coated balloon (DCB) catheters represented an important forward step in the treatment of patients with obstructive coronary artery disease.(1)The first devices for coronary use received regulatory approval in Europe in 2009. Since that time, adoption in clinical practice has increased gradually, initially for the indication of treatment for in-stentrestenosis and subsequently for the treatment of patients with de novo lesions.(2)
