Balloon angioplasty of cardiac vein in a patient treated by cardiac resynchronization therapy [PDF]
Introduction. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces mortality and hospitalization in patients with symptomatic heart failure and left bundle branch block (LBBB) on optimal drug therapy. Among all, the reasons for “non-response” to CRT pacemaker

Drug-Coated Balloons Versus Drug-Eluting Stents or Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty: A Long-Term in-Stent Restenosis Study. [PDF]
Background Balloon angioplasty with drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) is frequently used during percutaneous coronary intervention for in‐stent restenosis. Despite its frequent use, there is a lack of long‐term data on the efficacy of DCB angioplasty.
