Drug‐Coated Balloons Versus Drug‐Eluting Stents or Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty: A Long‐Term in‐Stent Restenosis Study

Background Balloon angioplasty with drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) is frequently used during percutaneous coronary intervention for in‐stent restenosis. Despite its frequent use, there is a lack of long‐term data on the efficacy of DCB angioplasty. We conducted an investigation on the long‐term efficac...

description Background Balloon angioplasty with drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) is frequently used during percutaneous coronary intervention for in‐stent restenosis. Despite its frequent use, there is a lack of long‐term data on the efficacy of DCB angioplasty. We conducted an investigation on the long‐term efficacy outcome of in‐stent restenosis, comparing DCBs, drug‐eluting stents, and plain old balloon angioplasty. Methods and Results We conducted a nationwide analysis from the SCAAR (Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry) including in‐stent restenosis lesions undergoing coronary angiography between June 11, 2013, and January 14, 2022. The primary outcome of this study was target‐lesion revascularization within a 5‐year follow‐up. Secondary outcomes included all‐cause death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and any percutaneous coronary intervention. The outcomes were analyzed using a multivariable Cox proportional hazard model or Poisson regression, as appropriate. A total of 10 561 lesions from 9062 patients were included. Compared with plain old balloon angioplasty, the use of DCB angioplasty was associated with less target‐lesion revascularization (risk ratio, 0.69 [95% CI, 0.57–0.82]), all‐cause death (risk ratio, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.59–0.88]), and cardiovascular death (hazard ratio [HR], 0.59 [95% CI, 0.45–0.78]). No difference was observed for myocardial infarction or any percutaneous coronary intervention. Compared with drug‐eluting stents, the use of DCBs was associated with higher rates of target‐lesion revascularization (HR, 1.20 [95% CI, 1.06–1.37]). No difference was observed for all‐cause death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or any percutaneous coronary intervention. Conclusions In this long‐term nationwide analysis, the use of DCB angioplasty showed superior outcomes compared with plain old balloon angioplasty within 5 years but higher rates of repeat revascularizations compared with drug‐eluting stents.
