Summary:In line, inflation pressures were significantly lower in the DCB group. [...]some of the patients may have almost fulfilled the criteria for a restenosis just at baseline. Plain Angioplasty for Drug-eluting Stent Restenosis), hazard ratio for overall mortality was 0.38 (6.0% vs. 15.3%, respectively; p = 0.02) and 0.27 for cardiac mortality (p = 0.03) in favor of DCB versus DES.
