Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary bifurcation lesions are associated with less favourable outcome as compared to other lesion subsets. The role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) for bifurcation lesions has been only investigated in small studies so far, which reported encouraging results. We here describe the results of EASTBOURNE-BIF prospective registry, in which a sirolimus-DCB was used for the treatment of bifurcation lesions. METHODS Overall, 194 patients with bifurcations lesions identified in the EASTBOURNE study (Medina 1.1.1/1.1.0/1.0.1/0.1.1/0.1.0) were compared with 1049 patients with de-novo lesions from the same registry. Both a blended-strategy using a drug-eluting stent in the main branch and a DCB in the side branch as well as a full-DCB approach were used in the treatment of bifurcation lesions. RESULTS At one year of follow-up the study primary endpoint, target-lesion revascularization occurred at a similar rate in the bifurcation group versus the de-novo group (4.2 vs. 2%, P=0.28). Similar outcomes were observed in terms of all-cause death (3.3 vs. 1.4%, P=0.138), major adverse cardiovascular events (8.8 vs. 5.2%, P=0.081) and the rate of spontaneous myocardial infarction (2.8 vs. 1.0%, P=0.117). CONCLUSIONS The results of EASTBOURNE-BIF study show how the use of this DCB alone or in combination with drug eluting stents could represent a safe and effective alternative to stents for the treatment of bifurcations.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to explain the current advancements in the treatment modalities for small vessel coronary artery disease (SVCAD) and de novo lesions post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), focusing on drug-coated stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB). Its goal is to address the lack of standards in the management of these lesions and to assess the potential of DCB as a preferential treatment strategy over DES in the long term. RECENT FINDINGS: Technological advancements have improved drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) which offer a more promising avenue for managing SVCAD. According to new data, DCBs, initially recognized for their efficacy in preventing restenosis within three to five years of stent placement, may offer superior outcomes compared to DES in certain clinical scenarios. This review shows that DCBs have a favorable therapeutic profile in the treatment of SVCAD, and they could be considered as an alternative to DES. Although the initial data is compelling, definitive conclusions cannot be met without further large-scale, long-term clinical trials. The implication of these findings suggests a shift in the future of SVCAD management and requires additional research to substantiate the long-term benefits of DCB use in SVCAD. Should ongoing and future studies corroborate the current evidence, DCB could emerge as the standard of care for SVCAD, significantly influencing clinical practices and future research.

Procedural characteristics and cardiovascular outcomes in patients undergoing drug-coated balloon angioplasty for de novo lesions in large coronary arteries: an observational study.

Abstract
Limited data exist regarding drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment in de novo large coronary arteries. We sought to demonstrate procedural characteristics, residual stenosis, and clinical outcomes following DCB angioplasty for de novo lesions in large versus small coronary arteries. The study included 184 consecutive patients with 223 de novo coronary lesions undergoing paclitaxel DCB angioplasty between January 2019 and August 2020, who were divided according to whether the DCB diameter was ≥ 3.0 mm (large group, n = 58) or < 3.0 mm (small group, n = 125). The large group had a higher proportion of acute coronary syndrome more commonly with ostial, bifurcation, and calcified lesions in large vessels and received lesion preparation with more frequent use of scoring or cutting balloons and atherectomy devices compared to the small group. Postprocedural angiographic diameter stenosis was smaller in the large group compared to the small group (31% [22-37] vs. 35% [26-42], p = 0.032), and intravascular ultrasound revealed no significant difference in postprocedural area stenosis between the groups (66.2 ± 7.7% vs. 67.9 ± 7.8%; p = 0.26). The median follow-up duration was 995 days. The incidence of a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or target lesion revascularization was similar between the groups (log-rank p = 0.41) and was influenced by the presence of acute coronary syndrome and anemia but not by DCB diameter. The rate of cardiovascular outcomes after DCB treatment was comparable in de novo large and small coronary arteries. Notably, well-planned lesion preparation with intravascular imaging guidance was prevalent in large vessels.

Abstract
Below-the-knee (infrapopliteal) atherosclerotic disease, which presents as chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in nearly 50% of patients, represents a treatment challenge when it comes to the endovascular intervention arm of management. Due to reduced tissue perfusion, patients usually experience pain at rest and atrophic changes correlated to the extent of the compromised perfusion. Unfortunately, the prognosis remains unsatisfactory with 30% of patients requiring major amputation and a mortality rate of 25% within 1 year. To date, randomized multicentre trials of endovascular intervention have shown that drug-eluting stents (DES) increase patency rate and lower target lesion revascularization rate compared to plain balloon angioplasty and bare-metal stents. The majority of these trials recruited patients with focal infrapopliteal lesions, while most patients requiring endovascular intervention have complex and diffuse atherosclerotic disease. Moreover, due to the nature of the infrapopliteal arteries, the use of long DES is limited. Following recent results of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in the treatment of femoropopliteal and coronary arteries, it was hoped that similar effective results would be achieved in the infrapopliteal arteries. In reality, multicentre trials have failed to support the proposed hypothesis and no advantage was found in using DCBs in comparison to plain balloon angioplasty. This review aims to explore anatomical, physiological and pathological differences between lesions of the infrapopliteal and coronary arteries to explain the differences in outcome when using DCBs.

Abstract
Calcified nodules (CNs) are among the most challenging lesions to treat in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention. CNs may be divided into 2 subtypes, eruptive and noneruptive, which have distinct histopathological and prognostic features. An eruptive CN is a biologically active lesion with a disrupted fibrous cap and possibly adherent thrombus, whereas a noneruptive CN has an intact fibrous cap and no adherent thrombus. The use of intravascular imaging may allow differentiation between the 2 subtypes, thus potentially guiding treatment strategy. Compared with noneruptive CNs, eruptive CNs are more likely to be deformable, resulting in better stent expansion, but are paradoxically associated with worse clinical outcomes, in part because of their frequent initial presentation as an acute coronary syndrome and subsequent reprotrusion of the CN into the vessel lumen through the stent struts. Pending the results of ongoing studies, a tailored therapeutic approach based on the distinct features of the different CNs may be of value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 1-year clinical outcomes of the Absorb GT1 Japan post-market surveillance (PMS) suggested that an appropriate intracoronary imaging-guided bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) implantation technique may reduce the risk of target lesion failure (TLF) and scaffold thrombosis (ST) associated with the Absorb GT1 BVS. The long-term outcomes through 5 years are now available.Methods and Results: This study enrolled 135 consecutive patients (n=139 lesions) with ischemic heart disease in whom percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the Absorb GT1 BVS was attempted. Adequate lesion preparation, imaging-guided appropriate sizing, and high-pressure post-dilatation using a non-compliant balloon were strongly encouraged. All patients had at least 1 Absorb GT1 successfully implanted at the index procedure. Intracoronary imaging was performed in all patients (optical coherence tomography: 127/139 [91.4%] lesions) and adherence to the implantation technique recommendations was excellent: predilatation, 100% (139/139) lesions; post-dilatation, 98.6% (137/139) lesions; mean (±SD) post-dilatation pressure, 18.8±3.5 atm. At 5 years, the follow-up rate was 87.4% (118/135). No definite/probable ST was reported through 5 years. The cumulative TLF rate was 5.1% (6/118), including 2 cardiac deaths, 1 target vessel-attributable myocardial infarction, and 3 ischemia-driven target lesion revascularizations. CONCLUSIONS Appropriate intracoronary imaging-guided BVS implantation, including the proactive use of pre- and post-balloon dilatation during implantation may be beneficial, reducing the risk of TLF and ST through 5 years.

Abstract
Background Concerns regarding restenosis after treatment with drug-coated balloons (DCB) remain. We aimed to identify the incidence of target lesion revascularization (TLR) and explore clinical, procedural, and other factors influencing it. Methods Single-center retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort PCI registry study included 80 patients (100 lesions) who underwent successful DCB angioplasty between January 2020 and October 2023 and follow-up angiography within 2 years of either planned or unplanned reason. Incidence and factors associated with TLR were analyzed. Results Angiographic evaluation was conducted within a median of 151 days (interquartile range: 109 days). During index procedure, 54% were complex lesions. Intravascular imaging (IVI) was performed in 80% of lesions. TLR occurred in 11% of the lesions and was less frequent in the IVI group compared to the angiography-alone group [6.3 vs. 54.5%; odds ratio: 0.156, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.042-0.580; p = 0.002]. No association was found between baseline and lesion characteristics, lesion complexity, plaque morphology, pre-dilatation procedure balloon type, maximal inflation pressure, or length of DCB between the groups (p > 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that IVI utilization was independently associated with a lower TLR rate (adjusted odds ratio: 0.116, 95% CI: 0.020-0.669; p = 0.016). Conclusion In DCB angioplasty, only IVI use exhibited a significant difference in the TLR rate among baseline lesion characteristics and lesion preparation and was independently associated with a lower TLR rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Late lumen enlargement (LLE) - a positive remodelling phenomenon - after drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for stable coronary disease contributes to a lower restenosis rate. However, lesion characteristics promoting LLE remain unclear. AIMS This study aimed to investigate predictive lesion characteristics for LLE using serial optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) following DCB angioplasty for de novo coronary artery lesions. METHODS This retrospective, single-centre observational study included patients with angina pectoris who underwent paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty without stenting under OFDI guidance as well as follow-up OFDI. OFDI endpoints were lumen volume, plaque phenotype, and procedure-associated dissection. LLE was defined as a ≥10% increase in the lumen volume of the treated lesion at follow-up. RESULTS Between August 2016 and December 2019, among patients with successful DCB angioplasty, 108 lesions (83 patients) had available follow-up imaging after a median of 6.1 months. LLE was detected in 44 (40.7%) lesions. Fibrous/fibrocalcific and layered plaques had significantly larger lumen volumes at follow-up than immediately after the index procedure, whereas lipid plaques exhibited no significant difference. Medial dissection with an arc >90° revealed an increased lumen volume. Multivariate analysis showed that layered plaques (odds ratio [OR] 8.73, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.92-39.7; p=0.005) and medial dissection with an arc >90° (OR 4.65, 95% CI: 1.63-13.3; p=0.004) were independent LLE predictors. CONCLUSIONS Layered plaques and extensive medial dissection after DCB angioplasty were associated with higher LLE occurrence in de novo coronary lesions. These findings may be clinically applicable to DCB therapeutic strategies based on plaque features.

Abstract
Invasive functional coronary angiography (FCA), an angiography-derived physiological index of the functional significance of coronary obstruction, is a novel physiological assessment tool for coronary obstruction that does not require the utilization of a pressure wire. This technology enables operators to rapidly evaluate the functional relevance of coronary stenoses during and even after angiography while reducing the burden of cost and complication risks related to the pressure wire. FCA can be used for treatment decision-making for revascularization, strategy planning for percutaneous coronary intervention, and procedure optimization. Currently, various software-computing FCAs are available worldwide, with unique features in their computation algorithms and functions. With the emerging application of this novel technology in various clinical scenarios, the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics task force was created to outline expert consensus on the clinical use of FCA. This consensus document advocates optimal clinical applications of FCA according to currently available evidence while summarizing the concept, history, limitations, and future perspectives of FCA along with globally available software.

It emphasizes the crucial role of drug delivery in modern cardiovascular care and highlights how device technologies influence vascular behavior based on lesion morphology. The future holds promise for lesion-specific treatments, particularly in the superficial femoral artery, with recent CE-marked devices showing encouraging results. Exciting strategies and new patents focus on local drug delivery to prevent restenosis, shaping the future of interventional outcomes. In summary, as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of cardiovascular intervention, it becomes increasingly evident that the future lies in tailoring treatments to the specific characteristics of each lesion. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and harnessing the potential of localized drug delivery, we stand poised to usher in a new era of precision medicine in vascular intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are important treatment options for coronary artery disease; however, randomised controlled trials comparing various DCB technologies are sparse, and further investigations are needed. AIMS This preclinical study aimed to histologically and biologically compare the drug effects and safety of a low-dose paclitaxel-coated DCB (PCB; AGENT), a regular-dose PCB (SeQuent Please NEO) and a sirolimus-coated DCB (SCB; MagicTouch). METHODS The DCBs were inflated in the healthy iliac arteries of 18 rabbits, which were euthanised after 28 days. The treated iliac arteries and distal skeletal muscles were histopathologically evaluated, and drug concentrations were measured. RESULTS In the histopathological evaluation, the medial smooth muscle cell loss score regarding depth, an indicator of drug efficacy, was significantly higher with AGENT and SeQuent Please NEO than with MagicTouch (4.0 [3.6-4.0] vs 3.7 [3.7-4.0] vs 2.2 [2.0-2.4]), with significant differences in comparisons between AGENT and MagicTouch (p<0.01) and between SeQuent Please NEO and MagicTouch (p<0.01). AGENT and SeQuent Please NEO showed comparable drug concentrations in the treated artery (p=0.61). In contrast, the drug concentrations in distal skeletal muscles were the highest for MagicTouch, followed by SeQuent Please NEO and AGENT (28.07 [13.19-52.46] ng/mg vs 0.66 [0.22-3.76] ng/mg vs 0.25 [0.04-3.23] ng/mg, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that PCBs might have higher efficacy and lower drug concentrations in distal skeletal muscles than the MagicTouch SCB. The efficacy of the AGENT low-dose PCB and the SeQuent Please NEO regular-dose PCB was comparable.

Cardiovascular Outcomes after Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Angioplasty versus Drug-Eluting Stent Placement for Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1481. [PMID: 38592314 PMCID: PMC10934935 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13051481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the feasibility of paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) angioplasty for de novo lesions in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by comparing with drug-eluting stent (DES) placement. Methods: By a systematic literature search, nine (five randomized controlled, two retrospective propensity-score matched, and two retrospective baseline-balanced) studies comparing the midterm clinical and angiographic outcomes after PCB angioplasty and DES placement were included, yielding 974 and 1130 ACS cases in PCB and DES groups, respectively. Major adverse cardiac event (MACE) was defined as a composite of cardiac mortality (CM), all-cause mortality (ACM), myocardial infarction (MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and target lesion revascularization (TLR). Late luminal loss (LLL) and bleeding events (BLD) were also estimated. Results: The frequencies of MACE in PCB and DES groups were 8.42% and 10.62%, respectively. PCB angioplasty had no significant impacts on all of MACE (risk ratio: 0.90, 95%CI: 0.68-1.18, p = 0.44), CM, ACM, MI, TVR, TLR, BLD, and LLL, compared to DES placement in random-effects model. Conclusions: The present systematic review and meta-analysis showed the feasibility of PCB angioplasty for the de novo lesions in patients with ACS in comparison with DES placement by the emergent procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-eluting stents (DES) are the major treatment option in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Recently, drug-coated balloon (DCB) utilization has been increasing globally, leading to the expected new strategy of "stent-less PCI." This study aimed to evaluate the one-year outcome of DCB compared to DES. METHODS Patients who underwent initial PCI for de novo lesions in our institution from January 2018 to December 2021 (n=337) were subjected to retrospective analysis. Among them, 75 patients were treated with DCB, while 262 patients were treated with DES. Target lesion failure (TLF) was evaluated during the follow-up period. RESULTS The proportion of PCIs for ACS was significantly lower in the DCB group (DCB, n=23, 30.7% vs. DES, n=143, 54.6%; p=0.001). The median device diameter and length in the DES group were larger than those in the DCB group (DCB, 2.60 mm vs. DES, 2.98 mm; p<0.001; DCB, 19.1 mm vs. DES, 25.2 mm; p<0.001). There was no significant difference between the DCB and DES groups in lesion calcification. The proportion of ostial lesions was significantly higher in the DCB group (DCB, n=13, 17.3% vs. DES, n=21, 8.0%; p=0.018). The cumulative rate of TLF (DCB, n=5, 6.7% vs. DES, n=18, 6.9%; p=0.951) did not significantly differ between the DCB and DES groups. CONCLUSION DCB may be as effective a strategy as DES in the patient who underwent initial PCI for a de novo lesion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some clinical trials have verified the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (DCB) for small vessel coronary artery disease. However, nonsmall vessel and calcified lesions received less attention. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of DCB treatment for various types of coronary artery lesions, including not only small vessel disease but also nonsmall vessel disease and calcified lesions. In this real-world clinical practice study, in-stent restenosis was excluded. METHODS This study consecutively included 934 patients with 1751 nonstented lesions who received DCB at a cardiovascular center in Kyoto Katsura Hospital in Japan between 2009 and 2012 and 2014 to 2019. This study enrolled and retrospectively analyzed all of the patients. Eligible patients routinely underwent follow-up angiography at 6-8 months after percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary endpoint includes target lesion revascularization (TLR) during follow-up. Further, this study calculated the predictor of TLR using multivariate analysis. RESULTS This study included the lesions involving 46.4% of type B2/C, 26.9% with severe calcification, and 6.0% with DCB restenosis. Mean DCB diameter and length were 2.75 ± 0.51 mm and 24.2 ± 9.6 mm, respectively. The median follow-up duration was 18 months. Follow-up angiography revealed a TLR rate of 9% and a restenosis rate of 9%. This study identified hemodialysis and current smoking as independent TLR predictors. CONCLUSION In routine clinical practice, the effectiveness of DCB was observed consistently across various types of coronary artery disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data regarding the optimal duration of drug-coated balloon (DCB) inflation for coronary lesions. We sought to explore the effect of DCB angioplasty with versus without long inflation time on residual stenosis and clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. METHODS This study included 314 consecutive patients with 445 lesions undergoing paclitaxel DCB angioplasty using different inflation time, divided according to whether the total inflation time of the DCB was ≥180 s (prolonged group) or <180 s (standard group). The primary clinical endpoint, defined as a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or target lesion revascularization, was examined in 92 propensity score matched pairs. RESULTS In the matched cohort, the median clinical follow-up period was 947 days. Postprocedural angiographic diameter stenosis was smaller in the prolonged group than in the standard group (30.0% [22.0-37.0] vs. 33.5% [25.5-40.5]; p = 0.042). Intravascular ultrasound measurements revealed that longer DCB inflation time resulted in smaller area stenosis (66.6 ± 7.8% vs. 69.4 ± 7.0%; p = 0.044) and a less mean increase in percent atheroma volume (-11.2 ± 7.1% vs. -7.4 ± 5.9%; p = 0.004) after angioplasty. The rate of the primary endpoint was lower in the prolonged group than in the standard group (log-rank p = 0.025). The efficacy of prolonged DCB inflation was prominent in patients with in-stent restenosis and longer lesions. CONCLUSION Prolonged DCB inflation was associated with reduced residual stenosis and improved clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Prospective randomized trials are warranted to validate the benefits of DCB angioplasty with long inflation time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-coated balloons have been used as a non-stenting treatment in coronary and peripheral artery disease. Until recently, only sirolimus- and paclitaxel-coated balloons have been investigated in clinical trials. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of an innovative everolimus-coated balloon (ECB) in a swine coronary artery model. METHODS thirty-two swine coronary arteries were prepared through dilatation with a non-coated angioplasty balloon in a closed-chest model. During a period of 90 days, the following four groups (four animals per group, two coronary arteries per animal) were compared for safety and efficacy: A, Rontis ECB with 2.5 μg/mm2 of drug per balloon surface; B, Rontis ECB with 7.5 μg/mm2; C, Rontis Europa Ultra bare balloon; and D, Magic Touch, Concept Medical, sirolimus-coated balloon with a drug load of 1.3 μg/mm2. RESULTS Differences in local biological effects (arterial reaction scores) and surface of intimal area (mm2) were not statistically significant between the treatment groups. Numerically, group A showed the lowest intimal area and intimal mean thickness, while group B showed the lowest stenosis among all groups. CONCLUSIONS ECB was safe and effective in a porcine coronary artery model. The dose of everolimus may play a role in the biocompatibility of the balloon.

Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) stands as a leading global cause of mortality, underscoring the importance of effective prevention, early diagnosis, and timely intervention. While medications offer benefits to many patients, revascularization procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and emerging hybrid approaches remain pivotal for ACS management. This review delves into the 2018 ESC/EACTS guidelines alongside an analysis of existing literature to shed light on the spectrum of revascularization methods. While both CABG and PCI demonstrate promising outcomes, the optimal choice between the two hinges on a comprehensive assessment of individual patient factors, anatomical complexity guided by advanced imaging, comorbidities, and age. The determination of whether to pursue culprit or total revascularization, as well as immediate or staged revascularization, is contingent upon various factors, including age, disease complexity, and clinical outcomes. This evidence-based decision-making process is orchestrated by a multidisciplinary heart team grounded in ongoing clinical evaluation. The primary objective of this review is to provide valuable insights into revascularization strategies and scrutinize the congruence of current guidelines with recent advancements in the field.

Abstract
The concept of lifetime management has not been discussed in the field of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), because the durability of drug-eluting stent (DES) is considered to be long enough for most patients. Furthermore, even if in-stent restenosis occurs, the treatment for in-stent restenosis is simple in most cases. On the other hand, the long-term clinical outcomes after DES implantation are worse in severely calcified coronary lesions than in non-calcified lesions. Moreover, the treatment for in-stent calcified restenosis or restenosis due to stent underexpansion is not simple. The concept of lifetime management of severely calcified lesions may be necessary like that of aortic stenosis. Recently, several algorithms have been published in PCI to severely calcified lesions, partly because of the emergence of IVL. These algorithms focus on the selection of cracking and debulking devices for the preparation of stenting. However, the optimal stent expansion does not guarantee the long-term patency, when the target lesion includes calcified nodules. Stent restenosis due to calcified nodules is difficult to manage. In this review article, we propose the algorithm for severely calcified lesions focused on the shape of calcification. We do not need to hesitate stenting when multiple cracks on circumferential calcification are observed by intravascular imaging devices. However, DCB may be an option as final device in some situations, when lifetime management of severely calcified lesions is considered.
