Drug-Coated Balloons: Leave no Metal Behind

This session explores the expanding role of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in coronary intervention, from in-stent restenosis to de novo lesions. Faculty will review the science behind DCBs, evolving treatment algorithms, and global perspectives on balancing DCB and DES use. Debates and case-based discussions will highlight practical strategies for integrating DCBs into everyday practice.
