Late-lumen Changes After Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty Versus Drug-Eluting Stents in De Novo Coronary Lesions
About This Trial
This study aims to compare late-lumen loss (LLL) between DCB and DES to treat de novo coronary artery stenosis by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).

Treatments Being Tested
Drug-eluting stent implantation
IVUS (OPTICROSS, Boston Scientific, USA) will be recommended to select proper size of predilatation balloon (semi- or non-compliant balloon), DCB, or DES. Optimal lesion preparation is defined as satisfying all of the followings: 1) a fully inflated balloon of the correct size for the vessel (balloon with vessel ratio \>0.90); 2) ≤35% residual stenosis; 3) TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) flow grade 3; and 4) the absence of a flow-limiting coronary artery dissection.15 After successful lesion preparation, patients will receive either DCB or DES according to randomly allocated groups. In DES group, latest second-generation DES will be used in accordance with standard practice guideline.
Drug-coated balloon angioplasty
IVUS (OPTICROSS, Boston Scientific, USA) will be recommended to select proper size of predilatation balloon (semi- or non-compliant balloon), DCB, or DES. Optimal lesion preparation is defined as satisfying all of the followings: 1) a fully inflated balloon of the correct size for the vessel (balloon with vessel ratio \>0.90); 2) ≤35% residual stenosis; 3) TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) flow grade 3; and 4) the absence of a flow-limiting coronary artery dissection.15 After successful lesion preparation, patients will receive either DCB or DES according to randomly allocated groups. In DCB group, commercially available DCB (Agent, Boston Scientific, USA) will be used. DCB angioplasty will be recommended as follows to fully optimized procedural results. First, DCB size should be 1:1 ratio with reference vessel size. Second, delivery time of DCB should be within 30 seconds. Third, total inflation time of DCB will be recommended from 30 to 60 seconds.
