The Predictive Value of Quantitative Flow Ratio and Its Derived Angiographic Microvascular Resistance for Restenosis Following Drug‐Coated Balloon Angioplasty

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Initially, drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty was primarily employed for in‐stent restenosis (ISR) treatment. Over time, its indications have broadened to include de novo small‐vessel lesions and bifurcation lesions. However, there is a lack of effective strategies to reduce restenosis rates post‐DCB angioplasty.

ABSTRACT Aims We aimed to externally validate the PRECISE‐DAPT cancer score which showed better accuracy in predicting bleeding events in patients with cancer than the original PRECISE‐DAPT score. Methods We used data from the BleeMACS (Bleeding complications in a Multicenter registry of patients discharged after an Acute Coronary Syndrome) project. We
