Summary:[...]the real challenge remains: what is the best treatment option in this setting? [...]DCB should likely be used after pre-dilation with an undersized balloon. [...]although lesions up to 18 cm were allowed, the majority of lesions (>95%) were <10 to 12 cm. [...]similar to most stent trials, the safety and efficacy of DCB in moderate to long lesions is unknown.
