The SELUTION DeNovo randomized clinical trial, presented at TCT 2025 in San Francisco, USA, demonstrated non-inferiority of a drug-eluting balloon to standard-of-care for in-stent restenosis.
A percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy using the SELUTION SLR sirolimus-eluting balloon (SEB) with provisional stenting was found to be non-inferior to the systematic use of drug-eluting stents (DES) for the treatment of de novo coronary lesions at one year.
The trial was designed to test whether a stent-minimizing approach could achieve outcomes comparable to standard DES implantation.
