Differences in Vascular Responses and Underlying Mechanisms Following Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Angioplasty Between Lipid-Rich and Non-Lipid-Rich Lesions in Chronic Coronary Syndrome.

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate how vascular responses differ between lipid-rich and non-lipid-rich lesions after Paclitaxel-coated balloon therapy.
• Comparison of vascular outcomes following treatment with Paclitaxel-coated balloons.
• Assessment of lipid burden in coronary lesions.
• Analysis of LLE and maxLCBI₄mm metrics.
• Paclitaxel treatment improved outcomes like LLE regardless of lipid burden.
• Differences in underlying mechanisms were noted between the two types of lesions.
