Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this mini-series, participants will be able to:
  • Discuss key data from coronary drug-coated balloon (DCB) clinical trials and their implications for clinical practice.
  • Select appropriate patients for coronary DCB’s.
  • Plan for deployment of coronary DCB’s, including step-by-step imaging guidance and lesions preparation.
  • Examine cases of in-stent restenosis (ISR), including single-layer, double-layer, and stent failure. 
  • Explore other evidence-based applications of coronary DCB’s.
