Impact of Plaque Morphology on Drug-Coated Balloon Treatment Outcomes for Coronary Calcified Lesions ― An Optical Coherence Tomography Analysis ―
Key Points
DCB therapy efficacy is influenced by the morphology of calcified plaques, showing significant variability in outcomes.
A specific focus on plaque morphology reveals critical insights into the success of drug-coated balloon treatments.
Optical coherence tomography was utilized to analyze the intricate details of calcified lesions during the intervention.
Understanding the relationship between plaque characteristics and treatment success may enhance clinical approaches to PCI.
Abstract
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for calcified coronary lesions without stent implantation remains a challenging therapeutic strategy. The efficacy of drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy in relation to specific calcified plaque morphologies has not been previously investigated.
