Cutting Balloon Predilation Prior to Abluminus Sirolimus-eluting Stent Implantation (CUT-DRESS).

Summary

Drug-eluting stents iterations has significantly improved the results of percutaneous revascularization among patients undergoing coronary revascularization thanks to thinner struts, more biocompatible polymer coatings and new drug release formulations; leading to lower thrombogenicity, faster reendothelialization and improved clinical outcomes. Notwithstanding, stent-related events yet occur. Lesion pre-dilation prior to DES implantation is a crucial procedural step as it creates microdissections, which are required for optimal uptake of the drug. However, the best pre-dilation strategy has not yet been determined. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate a strategy based on pre-dilation with cutting balloon (CB) followed by Abluminus Sirolimus-eluting stent (ASES) implantation for de novo coronary lesions
