Paclitaxel- and Sirolimus-Coated Balloons Versus Drug-Eluting Stents in Coronary Artery Disease: A Comprehensive Narrative Review [PDF]
LifeDrug-coated balloons (DCBs) have emerged as an alternative to drug-eluting stents (DESs) in percutaneous coronary intervention, delivering antiproliferative drugs without leaving a permanent implant.

A rare optical coherence tomography finding of a striped, low-attenuation plaque protruding into the lumen in in-stent restenosis [PDF]
The Egyptian Heart JournalBackground In-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a clinical challenge in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era. Neoatherosclerosis is a recognized mechanism, but tissue responses after drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy may present with atypical morphologies. Case
