One-Year Results for the ROBUST III Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Optilume ^® Drug-Coated Balloon for Anterior Urethral Strictures

Abstract

The results of this randomized controlled trial support that Optilume is safe and superior to standard direct vision internal urethrotomy/dilation for the treatment of recurrent anterior urethral strictures <3 cm in length. The Optilume DCB may serve as an important alternative for men who have had an unsuccessful direct vision internal urethrotomy/dilation but want to avoid or delay urethroplasty.
