This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a drug-coated balloon is as effective and safe as a traditional drug-eluting stent for treating chronic total occlusions—arteries that have been completely blocked for at least 3 months. Researchers want to see if the balloon approach, which leaves nothing behind in your artery, works just as well as the stent approach, which permanently implants metal.
Standard metal stents can cause problems like re-narrowing of the artery and blood clots, especially in long blockages. A coated balloon that dissolves after opening the artery might avoid these complications while keeping your artery more flexible and natural.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to receive either a drug-coated balloon procedure or a traditional stent procedure to open your blocked artery. After the procedure, you'll have follow-up imaging at 9 months and clinic visits to check how well the treatment is working and monitor for any side effects. The study will track your symptoms, quality of life, and long-term heart health.
