Key Points
This research aims to examine the vascular response and occurrence of micro-embolization following specific angioplasty techniques.
Utilized micro-computed tomography for imaging assessments.
Conducted histological analysis of vascular samples.
Included a randomized trial design to evaluate outcomes.
Observed changes in vascular response post-angioplasty techniques.
Identified instances of silent micro-embolization with specific frequencies.
Evaluated efficacy of drug-coated balloons compared to traditional methods.
