Peripheral Drug-Coated Balloon

Peripheral drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are minimally invasive angioplasty balloons coated in paclitaxel, an anti-proferative drug that is released up dilatation of the balloon within a peripheral artery to treat peripheral artery disease (PAD). Paclitaxel reduces the rate of restenosis and reinterventions, as shown in many clinical trials.
