Effect of combination of non-slip element balloon and drug-coating balloon for in-stent restenosis lesions (ELEGANT study).

CONCLUSION: Eight-month angiographic outcomes were similar between NSE and non-compliant balloon pre-dilatation with DCB for treatment of ISR lesions. However, NSE pre-dilatation has advantages such as reduction of balloon slippage and geographical miss during the procedure.
