Read our Coronary Artery Disease research guide →Researchers are studying whether drug-coated balloons (special balloons that deliver medication to blocked arteries) work as well as or better than traditional stents when treating patients with multiple blocked heart arteries. This trial will compare how well these two approaches prevent future problems and keep arteries open. The goal is to understand whether this newer balloon technology might become a better option for some patients.
When patients have blockages in multiple heart arteries, doctors traditionally use stents (small wire tubes) to keep arteries open. This study exists to see whether the new treatment—a special balloon that delivers medication directly to the artery wall—might be just as effective or even better, and to understand how doctors' treatment choices are changing.

If you enroll, you will undergo a heart procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention, where your doctor will place either special drug-coated balloons, stents, or a combination of both in your blocked arteries. Your specific treatment will depend on your individual case and the study arm you are assigned to. After the procedure, you will be followed to track how well the treatment works and whether any complications develop.
