OCT- Versus Angiography-guided Paclitaxel Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty in De Novo Coronary Artery

OCT- Versus Angiography-guided Paclitaxel Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty in De Novo Coronary Artery After Lesion Preparation With Scoring Balloon - A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study

OCT allows precise evaluation of intimal injury after lesion preparation and may improve the acute results and long-term outcomes after paclitaxel drug-coated balloon angioplasty. This prospective multicenter cohort study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of OCT- versus angiography-guided paclitaxel drug-coated balloon angioplasty in middle-sized de novo coronary artery after lesion preparation with scoring balloon.
