The knowledge that neointimal formation can result in restenosis after stent implantation led to the development of drug-eluting stents (DES) which require long lasting antiplatelet therapy to avoid thrombotic complications. In the last years, the drug-eluting balloon (DEB) technology has emerged as an alternative option for the treatment of coronary and peripheral arteries. Clinical studies demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of DEB in various clinical scenarios and support the use of paclitaxel-eluting balloons for the treatment of in-stent restenosis, of small coronary arteries and bifurcations lesions. The protocols of DEB studies suggest that the dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel of four weeks after DEB is safe and effective.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BonaventuraSonntagKleber2011, author = {Bonaventura, Klaus and Sonntag, Steffen and Kleber, Franz Xayer}, title = {Incidence of acute thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention with paclitaxel eluting balloons in a clinical setting and in clinical trials}, series = {Journal of the American College of Cardiology}, volume = {58}, booktitle = {Journal of the American College of Cardiology}, number = {20}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {New York}, issn = {0735-1097}, pages = {B78 -- B78}, year = {2011}, language = {en} }
