Abstract：Drug-coated balloons(DCBs),as an implantation-free interventional strategy for coronary artery disease,have emerged as a novel therapeutic option.In recent years,the application of DCBs in de novo lesions of large coronary vessels(typically defined as reference vessels of diameter>2.75 mm)has expanded.However,further exploration and research into their safety and efficacy are still warranted.This article synthesizes and summarizes some key aspects,including the accurate dissection assessment,the adequate lesion preparation,the guidance by intravascular imaging,and the latest research progress on DCB treatment for coronary de novo lesions.
