Brief Summary
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) is an alternative choice for denovo lesions in coronary artery disease patients with high bleeding risk. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can provide more details of coronary anatomy and stent implantation, overcoming a number of limitations of coronary angiography. However, the benefit of IVUS-guided DCB treatment has not been investigated. This study is designed to compare IVUS-guided and Angiography-guided DCB treatment for coronary denovo lesions in patients with high bleeding risk.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
late lumen loss (LLL) at 7 months after procedure
LLL is defined as the difference between postprocedural minimal lumen diameter (MLD) minus MLD at the time of angiographic follow-up
7 months
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Target vessel failure (TVF) at 6 months
6 months
bleeding at 6 months
6 months
Study Arms (2)
IVUS-guided DCB
EXPERIMENTALIn the IVUS guidance group, IVUS assessment will be used before procedure, post-procedure, and at the follow-up.
Angiography-guided DCB
ACTIVE COMPARATORIn the Angiography guidance group, DCB treatment will be guided by routine coronary angiography.
Interventions
IVUS (Boston Scientific®) guidance + DCB (Sequent® Please) treatment
