Drug-Coated Balloons

Abstract

The drug-coated balloon is a future treatment device which leaves nothing behind. It delivers the drug in a very short time and provides long-term release of the drug to treat posttreatment shortcomings. Currently paclitaxel and sirolimus are the only choices for drug-coated balloons. Preclinical study findings on paclitaxel are mixed and depend on various factors such as the drug carrier, balloon surface, drug size, coating method etc. The sirolimus-coated balloon is an emerging device and based on certain preclinical reports, it has generated new hope for safe and effective drug delivery.
