Abstract

In the field of interventional cardiology and vascular surgery, drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are a type of medical device used to treat numerous cardiovascular diseases, notably in the peripheral arteries. The interventionist's toolkit has grown thanks to the use of DCBs, which has improved primary patency and freedom from target lesion revascularization. Which technologies may accomplish these goals while simultaneously lowering overall morbidity and mortality is still up for dispute. The purpose of this article is to highlight new developments in the literature pertaining to the usage of balloons with drugs.
