Abstract
The treatment of coronary artery bifurcation often represents a challenge for interventional cardiologist. Although several stenting techniques are available for the treatment of de novo coronary bifurcation lesions, over the last years, different studies have proposed and analysed the use of drug-coated balloon (DCB) in the treatment of coronary artery bifurcation lesions as an alternative treatment. To date, even considering those studies which have analysed a combined strategy (DCBÂ +Â stenting) or a DCB-only approach, the evidences are scant and the results debatable. We review the available scientific data regarding the use of DCB in the treatment of naive coronary bifurcation lesions.
