Meta AnalysisComparison among drug-eluting balloon, drug-eluting stent, and plain balloon angioplasty for the treatment of in-stent restenosis: a network meta-analysis of 11 randomized, controlled trials.
A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed comparing the efficacy and safety of drug-eluting balloons (DEB), drug-eluting stents (DES), or plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) for treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR). ⋯ Local drug delivery by DEB or DES for ISR lesions was markedly better than POBA in preventing TLR, but not for MI or mortality. Among the 2 different strategies of drug delivery for ISR lesions, treatment with DEB showed a trend of less development of MI than did treatment with DES.
