Impact of Late Lumen Loss on Clinical Outcomes of Side-Branch Bifurcation Lesions Treated by Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty With Main-Branch Stenting
Abstract
Background
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for side branches with main branch stenting is effective for bifurcation lesions and reduces late lumen loss (LLL) in side branches. However, the predictors and clinical implications of LLL after DCB angioplasty are largely unexplored.
