Summary

This study compares two ways to treat blocked heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (DCB) and a drug-eluting stent (DES). About 256 adults with coronary artery disease will be enrolled. The goal is to see which method keeps arteries open longer by measuring changes inside the vessel with ultrasound.
