Paclitaxel-Coated vs Uncoated Balloons in Coronary Restenosis

JAMA Network

About The Study: Among patients undergoing coronary angioplasty for in-stent restenosis, a paclitaxel-coated balloon was superior to an uncoated balloon with respect to the composite end point of target lesion failure in this multicenter randomized trial that included 600 patients. Paclitaxel-coated balloons are an effective treatment option for patients with coronary in-stent restenosis.
