Performing percutaneous coronary interventions with predilatation using non-compliant balloons at high-pressure versus conventional semi-compliant balloons: insights from two randomised studies using optical coherence tomography

Cuculi, Florim; Bossard, Matthias; Zasada, Wojciech; Moccetti, Federico; Voskuil, Michiel; Wolfrum, Mathias; Malinowski, Krzysztof Piotr; Toggweiler, Stefan; Kobza, Richard (BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-01-23)

Introduction Stent underexpansion is a predictor of in-stent-restenosis and stent thrombosis. Semi-compliant balloons (SCBs) are generally used for lesion preparation. It remains unknown whether routine predilatation using ...
