Comparison of clinical outcomes of drug-coated balloons angioplasty vs. plain old balloons angioplasty for peripheral arterial disease: an umbrella meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

NOVEMBER 21, 2024

Traditional treatments like plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) have limited success due to high restenosis rates. Drug-coated balloon angioplasty (DCBA) has emerged as a promising alternative, locally delivering antiproliferative drugs like paclitaxel to reduce restenosis.
