Drug‐coated balloon strategy following orbital atherectomy for calcified coronary artery compared with drug‐eluting stent: One‐year outcomes and optical coherence tomography assessment

Abstract

In calcified coronary artery disease, DCB alone strategy (if acceptable lesion preparation was performed with OA) was feasible compared with DES following OA with respect to 1-year clinical outcomes. Our finding indicated using DCB with OA might be reduce late lumen area loss for severe calcified lesion.
