Core Tip

Core Tip: Drug-coated balloons (DCB) are currently only recommended for patients with small vessel lesions and in-stent restenosis lesions, those at high risk of bleeding, and other special groups of patients. This report presents a case of successful drug-coated balloon treatment of de novo lesions in large coronary vessels. The successful treatment of the patient in our case highlights the potential of DCB in the treatment of de novo lesions in large coronary vessels.
