Abstract
In this case series of consecutive patients with BVS restenosis, the use of certain types of DCB is safe and effective in order to maintain vessel patency at mid-term follow up. Despite the small sample size and the study limitations, DCB can provide therefore an alternative treatment option in this setting, avoiding the implantation of further metallic stents in a patient where a different strategy was initially planned.
