Because of the limitations in new-generation drug-eluting stents (DES), treatments advocating for non-stents with a drug-coated balloon (DCB) is now of great interest. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to testify whether a DCB was more effective and safer than a DES in treating de novo coronary artery disease (CAD).
We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to obtain high-quality trials comparing DCB with DES for the treatment of de novo CAD. The primary endpoint was target lesion revascularization (TLR), and the secondary endpoints were in-lesion late lumen loss (LLL), all-cause death, myocardial infarction and binary restenosis.
We enrolled 1661 patients from seven randomized clinical trials. Compared with the DES group, the MD (mean difference) of in-lesion LLL was significantly lower in the DCB group (MD -0.19, 95% CI -0.23 to -0.16, < 0.00001, I = 0%). The DCB group showed superiority in small vessel disease (SVD) in in-lesion LLL (MD -0.21, 95% CI -0.34 to -0.08, = 0.001).
The DCB group exhibited a lower in-lesion LLL compared to the DES group, and DCB was not inferior to DES in other endpoints, including in the SVD subgroup. Hence, to our knowledge, DCB is non-inferior to DES for de novo CVD and SVD. DCB in patients with CVD needs further large and long-term clinical trials to demonstrate its long-term efficacy.

由于新一代药物洗脱支架(DES)存在局限性,目前提倡使用药物涂层球囊(DCB)进行非支架治疗,这引起了广泛关注。在此,我们进行了一项荟萃分析,以验证在治疗初发冠状动脉疾病(CAD)方面,DCB是否比DES更有效、更安全。
我们检索了PubMed、Embase、Cochrane图书馆和Web of Science,以获取比较DCB与DES治疗初发CAD的高质量试验。主要终点是靶病变血运重建(TLR),次要终点是病变内晚期管腔丢失(LLL)、全因死亡、心肌梗死和二元再狭窄。
我们纳入了来自七项随机临床试验的1661名患者。与DES组相比,DCB组病变内LLL的平均差(MD)显著更低(MD -0.19,95%CI -0.23至-0.16,<0.00001,I = 0%)。DCB组在小血管疾病(SVD)的病变内LLL方面显示出优势(MD -0.21,95%CI -0.34至-0.08,= 照0.001)。
与DES组相比,DCB组的病变内LLL更低,并且在包括SVD亚组在内的其他终点方面,DCB并不劣于DES。因此,据我们所知,对于初发心血管疾病(CVD)和SVD,DCB不劣于DES。CVD患者使用DCB需要进一步的大型长期临床试验来证明其长期疗效。
