EuroPCR 2024 — Investigator, Dr Ling Tao joins us to discuss the findings from the CAGEFREE II trial.
Compared to drug-eluting stents, drug-coated balloons are associated with faster vessel healing and reduced thrombotic burden, therefore patients treated with DCBs require a less intensive antiplatelet therapy. CAGEFREE II investigated the effectiveness and safety of a tailored one-month DAPT followed by 5-month Ticagrelor monotherapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes with DCB.
Questions:
- What is the existing evidence supporting low-intensity antiplatelet regimen?
- What question does this trial aim to address?
- What was the design, eligibility criteria, and outcome measures?
- What were the baseline characteristics of the randomized patients?
- What are the key findings?
- What are the implications for practice?
- What further research is required?
