Description:

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the findings of a major randomized trial examining the use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in treating side branch stenosis during coronary bifurcation procedures. The study suggests that DCBs offer better one-year outcomes compared to non-coated balloons, showing a significant reduction in myocardial infarction rates, but highlights ongoing challenges in managing bifurcation lesions, especially considering the high cost and potential risks.
