Coronary Drug-Coated Balloons as Brief-Contact Drug-Delivery Platforms: Engineering, Tissue Pharmacokinetics, and Angiographic/Imaging Response
2026-08-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> and Objectives: Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty is a brief-contact endovascular drug-delivery technology in which efficacy must be generated during a single balloon inflation. Unlike drug-eluting stents (DES), DCBs have no permanent scaffold or polymer reservoir; they must preserve coating integrity during delivery, release drug at balloon-vessel contact, transfer drug into the arterial...
