In this episode of Heart Matters, Professor Peter Barlis takes a closer look at drug-coated balloons (DCBs), an emerging technology in the treatment of coronary artery disease. These specialised balloons deliver medication directly to the artery wall without leaving behind a permanent implant. But can they really replace traditional heart stents? We’ll explore how DCBs work, when they’re used (particularly in conditions like in-stent restenosis and small vessel disease), and how they compare to stents in terms of benefits and outcomes. Whether you're a patient, clinician, or simply curious, this video breaks down the latest in heart treatment in a clear, easy-to-understand way.
