    "textoCompleto" => "<span class="elsevierStyleSections"><p id="par0005" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The concept behind drug-eluting balloons &#40;DEB&#41; is local vascular release of an antiproliferative drug without the need for a metal structure or a polymer&#44; which is certainly an attractive idea and an important innovation in interventional cardiology&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Their use in the treatment of coronary artery disease is relatively recent&#44; but DEB angioplasty has grown rapidly&#44; in fact outstripping the evidence in this area&#46; The history of interventional cardiology is full of such examples of action ahead of large trials and the guidelines based on them&#46;</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The development of this alternative was prompted by the fact that the use of stents is not advisable in certain situations or is likely to achieve less favorable results&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">DEB angioplasty has been shown to be most useful for the treatment of in-stent restenosis&#44; bifurcations and small vessel disease&#44; particularly in patients with diabetes&#46; All these situations are a challenge for interventional cardiology for which there is as yet no standard treatment&#44; unlike conventional lesions for which stenting has become universally accepted&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A return to simple balloon angioplasty but with DEBs to reduce the risk of restenosis appears to be a path worth exploring and for which it is important to gather more evidence&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The multicenter series presented in the article by Cal&#233; et al&#46; in this issue of the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Journal</span> provides interesting information on the use of DEBs&#44; particularly in patients with small vessel disease&#44; on whom there have been few large-scale studies&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Based on a prospective registry from two centers&#44; the authors analyzed 156 consecutive patients in whom 184 lesions were treated&#44; with a 12-month follow-up&#46; The indications for DEB angioplasty were divided between in-stent restenosis and small vessel disease&#46; The study analyzed major adverse cardiac events &#40;MACE&#41;&#44; including all-cause death&#44; myocardial infarction &#40;MI&#41; and need for target lesion revascularization &#40;TLR&#41;&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">One important result was 98&#37; device success&#44; confirming the excellent navigability of the system&#44; even in small vessels&#44; in most cases with distal lesions&#46;</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The apparently high rate of MACE&#44; particularly at 30 days&#44; with two cardiovascular deaths&#44; four MI and two TLR&#44; may be explained by the population studied&#44; which included a higher than usual percentage of diabetic patients&#44; and most of whom had significant coronary disease previously treated by angioplasty or bypass surgery&#46;</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It could be questioned whether analysis of clinical events is the best method to evaluate DEB angioplasty outcomes&#44; since the rate of restenosis and need for TLR are of greater interest&#46;</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Clinical manifestations are not always typical in patients with in-stent restenosis or in diabetic patients with small vessel disease&#44; as formation of collateral circulation is frequent in the former due to the gradual process of restenosis&#44; and the percentage of patients with silent ischemia is high among the latter&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It would be interesting to see more studies on DEB angioplasty with angiographic assessment so as to obtain a better idea of its true efficacy&#46; While there is an appreciable amount of evidence on its use for the treatment of in-stent restenosis&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;2</span></a> an indication that is included in the latest European Society of Cardiology guidelines on myocardial revascularization&#44; the results of studies on treatment of small vessel disease have been controversial or even negative&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although the study by Cal&#233; et al&#46; found no significant difference in the occurrence of MACE between patients being treated for in-stent restenosis and those for small vessel disease&#44; it is difficult to draw any conclusion as to whether DEB angioplasty was equally effective since the two situations are completely different&#46;</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">One aspect that could have benefited from more detailed analysis was treatment of small vessel disease&#44; since there have been few studies on this patient group&#44; in whom balloon angioplasty is sometimes the only option&#46; The definition of &#8220;small vessel&#8221; is not the same in all studies&#46; The article states that the median DEB diameter was 2&#46;5 mm&#44; but it would be relevant to know the caliber of vessels in this group&#44; particularly the proportion of patients with vessels of &#8804;2 mm&#44; which present more of a challenge&#46;</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However&#44; the study has the merit of pointing out other facts&#44; including that the best predictors of vascular events are patient characteristics rather than the type of balloon employed or its length&#46;</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For all these reasons&#44; the publication of registries such as this one is to be commended&#44; especially in areas where information is sparse and off-label use is common in clinical practice&#46;</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">While DEB angioplasty is beginning to gain wider acceptance for the treatment of in-stent restenosis&#44; there is still little information on the actual results of the technique in cases of small vessel lesions&#44; particularly when diffuse&#46;</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A final word on the path chosen by the authors&#44; which seems likely to bring benefits&#59; sharing information&#44; establishing multicenter registries&#44; and developing joint projects is without doubt the best way to obtain results and to raise the profile of Portuguese interventional cardiology&#46;</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The author has no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"

    "textoCompleto" => "<span class="elsevierStyleSections"><p id="par0005" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The concept behind drug-eluting balloons &#40;DEB&#41; is local vascular release of an antiproliferative drug without the need for a metal structure or a polymer&#44; which is certainly an attractive idea and an important innovation in interventional cardiology&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Their use in the treatment of coronary artery disease is relatively recent&#44; but DEB angioplasty has grown rapidly&#44; in fact outstripping the evidence in this area&#46; The history of interventional cardiology is full of such examples of action ahead of large trials and the guidelines based on them&#46;</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The development of this alternative was prompted by the fact that the use of stents is not advisable in certain situations or is likely to achieve less favorable results&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">DEB angioplasty has been shown to be most useful for the treatment of in-stent restenosis&#44; bifurcations and small vessel disease&#44; particularly in patients with diabetes&#46; All these situations are a challenge for interventional cardiology for which there is as yet no standard treatment&#44; unlike conventional lesions for which stenting has become universally accepted&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A return to simple balloon angioplasty but with DEBs to reduce the risk of restenosis appears to be a path worth exploring and for which it is important to gather more evidence&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The multicenter series presented in the article by Cal&#233; et al&#46; in this issue of the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Journal</span> provides interesting information on the use of DEBs&#44; particularly in patients with small vessel disease&#44; on whom there have been few large-scale studies&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Based on a prospective registry from two centers&#44; the authors analyzed 156 consecutive patients in whom 184 lesions were treated&#44; with a 12-month follow-up&#46; The indications for DEB angioplasty were divided between in-stent restenosis and small vessel disease&#46; The study analyzed major adverse cardiac events &#40;MACE&#41;&#44; including all-cause death&#44; myocardial infarction &#40;MI&#41; and need for target lesion revascularization &#40;TLR&#41;&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">One important result was 98&#37; device success&#44; confirming the excellent navigability of the system&#44; even in small vessels&#44; in most cases with distal lesions&#46;</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The apparently high rate of MACE&#44; particularly at 30 days&#44; with two cardiovascular deaths&#44; four MI and two TLR&#44; may be explained by the population studied&#44; which included a higher than usual percentage of diabetic patients&#44; and most of whom had significant coronary disease previously treated by angioplasty or bypass surgery&#46;</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It could be questioned whether analysis of clinical events is the best method to evaluate DEB angioplasty outcomes&#44; since the rate of restenosis and need for TLR are of greater interest&#46;</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Clinical manifestations are not always typical in patients with in-stent restenosis or in diabetic patients with small vessel disease&#44; as formation of collateral circulation is frequent in the former due to the gradual process of restenosis&#44; and the percentage of patients with silent ischemia is high among the latter&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It would be interesting to see more studies on DEB angioplasty with angiographic assessment so as to obtain a better idea of its true efficacy&#46; While there is an appreciable amount of evidence on its use for the treatment of in-stent restenosis&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;2</span></a> an indication that is included in the latest European Society of Cardiology guidelines on myocardial revascularization&#44; the results of studies on treatment of small vessel disease have been controversial or even negative&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although the study by Cal&#233; et al&#46; found no significant difference in the occurrence of MACE between patients being treated for in-stent restenosis and those for small vessel disease&#44; it is difficult to draw any conclusion as to whether DEB angioplasty was equally effective since the two situations are completely different&#46;</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">One aspect that could have benefited from more detailed analysis was treatment of small vessel disease&#44; since there have been few studies on this patient group&#44; in whom balloon angioplasty is sometimes the only option&#46; The definition of &#8220;small vessel&#8221; is not the same in all studies&#46; The article states that the median DEB diameter was 2&#46;5 mm&#44; but it would be relevant to know the caliber of vessels in this group&#44; particularly the proportion of patients with vessels of &#8804;2 mm&#44; which present more of a challenge&#46;</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However&#44; the study has the merit of pointing out other facts&#44; including that the best predictors of vascular events are patient characteristics rather than the type of balloon employed or its length&#46;</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For all these reasons&#44; the publication of registries such as this one is to be commended&#44; especially in areas where information is sparse and off-label use is common in clinical practice&#46;</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">While DEB angioplasty is beginning to gain wider acceptance for the treatment of in-stent restenosis&#44; there is still little information on the actual results of the technique in cases of small vessel lesions&#44; particularly when diffuse&#46;</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A final word on the path chosen by the authors&#44; which seems likely to bring benefits&#59; sharing information&#44; establishing multicenter registries&#44; and developing joint projects is without doubt the best way to obtain results and to raise the profile of Portuguese interventional cardiology&#46;</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The author has no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"
