Clinical Performance of a Paclitaxel Drug-Coated Balloon in Real-World Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Practice: The PEARL Registry

Randomized controlled trials for in-stent restenosis (ISR) and de novo lesions in small-diameter vessels have shown promising results, but data on DCB use in real-world practice are still scarce. The aim of the PEARL (Paclitaxel-Eluting Angioplasty Balloon in the Real-World) registry was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a paclitaxel DCB in real-world percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice.
