Overview

The goal of this clinical trial was to compare the effectiveness of drug balloons versus drug-coated stents in calcified lesions in elderly coronary artery disease. The main question it aims to answer is whether the application of DCB is non-inferior to DES for in situ large vessel calcified lesions in the elderly coronary arteries.

And to develop a method to precisely identify the nature and extent of calcified lesions and to rationalize the choice of pretreatment.

• 4. Target lesion vessel diameter > 2.5 mm

Exclusion Criteria:

• 1. inability to provide written informed consent.
