Individual patient data meta-analysis of paclitaxel-coated balloons vs. drug-eluting stents for small-vessel coronary artery disease: The ANDROMEDA study
The ANDROMEDA study, a patient-level meta-analysis of randomized trials, demonstrated that in patients with de novo small vessel coronary artery disease, treatment with a paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) was associated with a lower 3-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; all-cause death, MI, target lesion thrombosis, and TVR) compared with DES, while the risk of target lesion failure (TLF; cardiac death, MI, and TLR) was not significantly different, Dr. Simone Fezzi and colleagues, Verona University Hospital, Italy, reported in the May 1 issue of the European Heart Journal.
