Questioning, and Maybe Even Shaking Up, The Interventional Approach to STEMI

Uday Kanakadandi et al. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

A drug-coated balloon (DCB) in the setting of a STEMI may have long-term advantages that overshadow the risk of not stenting the vessel. Conversely, a temporary or permanent scaffold may be critical in the setting of a STEMI. The rationale for the trial is bold, sound, and the human subjects are well-protected.
