Summary
This study looked at a special balloon coated with sirolimus, a drug that helps keep arteries open, to treat large blockages in the heart's arteries. 306 patients were treated and then followed for one year to see if they needed another procedure to reopen the same blockage. The goal was to see if this balloon is a safe and effective option for managing coronary artery disease.
