4. Background Drug-eluting stents (DES) significantly reduced the occurrence of restenosis and the subsequent need for repeat revascularization. Nevertheless, the incidence of DES-restenosis (DES-ISR) remains frequent due to the continuous increase in DES implantations.

5. Background Complex lesions with a high restenotic potential are sufficiently treated with present DES, limiting the use of bare-metal stents (BMS) to patients not eligible for dual antiplatelet therapy. Paclitaxel coated balloon angioplasty (SeQuent Please, B.Braun) has been shown to be superior to plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) and non-inferior to paclitaxel eluting stent (PES) implantation for treatment of BMS restenosis.

6. Background Whether the use of paclitaxel coated balloon angioplasty is also effective in DES restenosis has not been sufficiently studied so far. We evaluated in a randomized, multicenter, single blinded trial the efficacy of paclitaxel coated balloon angioplasty (SeQuent Please, B.Braun, Germany) compared with plain old balloon angioplasty for DES restenosis in native coronary arteries.

7. Inclusion Criteria Age > 18 years Lesion in native coronary artery DES restenosis of Sirolimus eluting stents: Cypher, Yukon Everolimus eluting stents: Xience, Promus Paclitaxel eluting stents: Taxus Indication for PCI (symptoms, ischemia) Reference diameter 2.5 – 3.5 mm Lesion length ≤ 22 mm

8. Exclusion Criteria thrombus within the target vessel side branch ≥ 2 mm in diameter originating within the restenosis or bifurcation lesion multiple lesions in the target vessel lesions in bypass grafts total coronary artery occlusion lesions within 1 mm of vessel origin or left main planned surgery within 6 months after the index procedure women with childbearing potential contraindication or known hypersensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel, paclitaxel or heparin.

9. Primary Endpoint Primary endpoint: six-months late lumen loss at the target lesion. Superiority testing of the primary end point on an intention-to-treat basis.

10. Primary Endpoint With an assumed late lumen loss of 0.20±0.30mm in the drug coated balloon group and 0.80±0.80mm in the POBA group the necessary number of patients were 64 in the drug coated balloon and 34 in the POBA group to achieve 90% power With an assumed dropout rate of 10% the patient numbers to be recruited were 71 in the drug coated balloon and 38 in the POBA group.

11. Secondary Endpoints Secondary angiographic endpoints Binary restenosis, minimal lumen diameter, percent diameter stenosis (target lesion and total segment) Secondary clinical endpoints (definition according to ARC criteria) Target lesion revascularization Myocardial infarction Death MACE as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction attributable to target vessel, target lesion revascularization

24. Conclusion • In this prospective, randomized, single-blind, multicenter study the treatment strategy with paclitaxel coated balloon (SeQuent Please, B.Braun) compared with balloon angioplasty alone for treatment of DES restenosis showed: • a significantly lower late loss (primary endpoint) • a significantly lower binary restenosis rate, percent diameter stenosis and a significantly larger minimal lumen diameter at follow-up • significantly less MACE • no definite vessel thrombosis
