Meta-analysis of Drug-Coated Balloons Versus Drug-Eluting Stents for Small Vessel De-Novo Coronary Artery Disease

Drug coated balloons (DCB) are innovative tools for the management of coronary artery disease1. They have been recognized as an effective treatment strategy for treating both bare metal and drug-eluting stents (DES) restenosis (class 1A level of evidence)1. Several randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessed the safety and efficacy of DCB versus drug-eluting stents (DES) for the treatment of small vessel [defined as
