Assessment of Scoring Balloons in STEMI Patients Treated With DCB‐Only Angioplasty: A Single Center Study

Health Science Reports
Background and Aims A randomized trial has previously demonstrated that neointimal modification with a scoring balloon improves the anti‐restenotic effect of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) in patients with drug‐eluting stent restenosis. There are very limited
