Paclitaxel DCB is designed to release anti-proliferative agents to the whole lesion rapidly and homogenously to inhibit excessive neointima proliferation and is associated with rapid healing of endothelium. As a result, DCB therapy reduces the risk of coronary thrombosis. Since only 1 to 3 months duration of dual anti-platelet therapy is required, the bleeding risk associated with prolonged dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT) is reduced by DCB. Furthermore, there is no permanent residue of foreign bodies in the blood vessels after DCB procedure and this advantage completely eliminates adverse events associated with allergic reactions to metal, polymer and stent fracture. For side branch(SB) with a relatively small lumen in bifurcation lesions, DCB may neglect the lumen loss due to stent scaffolds and cause much less late lumen loss (LLL) than stent therapy does. For main branch(MB), no jailed SBs by the stent and the rate of SB stenosis or even occlusion will be greatly reduced.
