Overview

Drug-coated balloon (DCB) technology permits effective delivery of a drug to a lesion in the arterial wall, but not all DCBs are the same. The Essential pro DCB from iVascular has premium deliverability and last generation nanotechnology TransferTech, proving its reliability.
 
In this series of insightful presentations and discussions, moderator Prof Jose M de la Torre (Cantabria, ES) is joined by Dr Lucio Padilla (Buenos Aires, AR) and Dr Adam Sukiennik (Toruń, PL) to discuss the application and effectiveness of drug-coated balloons vs drug-eluting stents. They highlight the key benefits given by Essential pro and present several clinical cases where its efficacy has been demonstrated.
 
The faculty explore unique components of DCB technology and mechanism of action, explaining in detail the key differentiation between Essential pro and other DCBs, in addition to providing insight into Essential pro application in challenging cases, including bifurcations.
