Paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty is superior to balloon angioplasty alone for treatment of drug-eluting stent restenosis. (PEPCAD DES-Treatment of DES-In-Stent Restenosis With SeQuent® Please Paclitaxel Eluting PTCA Catheter [PEPCAD-DES]; NCT00998439).

DCB allow for local drug delivery in endovascular therapy leaving no permanent implant behind.

A significant number of patients experienced oesophageal wall injury post PVAI. Initiating PPIs in this group of patients might facilitate recovery of oesophageal wall injuries caused by radio-frequency energy delivery.
