Application of drug-coated balloon in treatment of coronary artery bifurcation lesions
Abstract：Objective To study the application of drug-coated balloon in treatment of coronary artery bifurcation lesions.Methods Twenty patients with coronary artery bifurcation lesions admitted to our hospital from March 2015 to March 2016 were included in this study.The patients underwent PCI.Soon after drug-eluting stent was placed into the main branch and the side branch was protected with drug-coated balloon,the patients underwent coronary angiography and were followed up after 6 months of operation.The MACCE were recorded.Results The success rate of PCI was 100％.Drug-eluting stent was placed into the main branch and the side branch was protected with drug-coated balloon.The minimal lumen diameters of the main branch and side branch increased from 1.49±0.46 mm and 1.36±0.66 mm respectively before operation to 3.20±0.53 mm and 1.78±0.61 mm respectively after operation (P=0.048,P=0.001).No MACCE occurred in 6 months after operation.Conclusion Drug-coated balloon is safe and effective in protecting side branch and can thus be used in treatment of coronary artery bifurcation lesions.
