NCT03899818

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multicentre, randomized clinical study of consecutive patients with coronary artery disease in vessels with diameter ≤2.75 mm. Patients will be randomized to drug-eluting balloon (DEB) or standard therapy with second generation drug-eluting stent (DES). Study population will consist of 240 patients with stable or unstable angina

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Verify the non-inferiority of DCB

    the primary objective of the study is the non-inferiority of the DCB compared to DES in terms of absence of restenosis, defined as reoccurrence of stenoses of at least 50% of the lumen of the vessel at angiographic follow-up (6 months after surgery).

    up to 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants with changes of vessels lumen

    up to 12 months

  • Concentration in blood chemistry

    up to 6 months

  • Number of Participants with adverse events

    up to 12 months
