Figure 3. Immediate- and mid-term results after the use of DCB for treating diffuse large vessel disease. (A) Basal angiography showing critical diffuse LAD stenosis; (B) Paclitaxel-coated balloon inflation after optimal lesion preparation using semi- and non-compliant balloons; (C) Final angiographic result showing no important dissections, with optimal distal flow; (D) Five-month follow-up angiography showing vessel healing, with important lumen gain. DCB: Drug-coated balloon. LAD: left anterior descending artery.
