"The prognosis for diabetic patients can be worse when using drug-eluting stents. There are some data from randomised trials showing that the use of drug coated balloons may be the better choice for diabetic patients." In an insightful interview, Pedro Lemos (Head of Interventional Cardiology at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in São Paulo, Brazil) discusses this topic with Cardiovascular News.

Early exposure to the use of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) “opened my eyes to a whole new world of angioplasty without putting stents in,” Simon Eccleshall (Norwich, UK) tells Cardiovascular News, detailing how the technology has come to play an important role in his practice.
In this interview, Eccleshall offers advice on the fundamentals of adopting DCBs in daily practice, offers insights from his own centre that underscore the safety and efficacy of DCBs in real-world use, and considers what the future holds for DCB-PCI.
What role do DCBs play in the modern interventional cardiology toolbox? Dr. Victor Jimenez takes on this and other questions from Cardiovascular News. He discusses how DCBs can address some of the limitations of DES platforms and the clinical scenarios in which balloons are favourable.
Dr. Marie-Claude Morice (Institute Hospitalier Jacques Cartier, Massy, France) discusses the future role of DCBs in coronary interventions. Learn about the upcoming topic of DCBs in de-novo lesions, the ongoing exciting research and the benefits of leaving nothing behind.
Read the articleDr. Tuomas Rissanen (North Karelia Central Hospital, Joensuu, Finland) speaks to Cardiovascular News about the benefits of using a drug coated balloon, the clinical indications that are most suited and why a wide set of data is key.

Bruno Scheller, Raban Jeger and Tuomas Rissanen talk about their experiences with DCBs and why there is no need to fear acute vessel closures. In the words of Tuomas Rissanen: "You can sleep tide in the evenings and there's no risk of getting back to the hospital at night."
Paclitaxel and sirolimus coated balloons
Paclitaxel coated balloon
B. Braun´s paclitaxel coated balloon SeQuent® Please NEO is the best investigated DCB [1] in the field of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). It has demonstrated its convincing performance, efficacy and safety in more than 110 published studies (including more than 35 RCTs) – with over 25,000 documented patients, conducted in more than 20 countries.
Sirolimus coated balloon
B. Braun´s new sirolimus coated balloon is the first SCB backed up with published randomized clinical trials for ISR and de-novo lesions. [2], [3], [4] SeQuent® SCB now offers new implant-free options for treating coronary ISR and de-novo lesions, providing excellent results in targeted drug delivery and sirolimus persistence. The combination of sirolimus and BHT (Butylated Hydroxy Toluol) creates the desired crystalline sirolimus modification to reach best results regarding sirolimus vessel wall content compared to other excipients.
