Drug-eluting Balloon Versus Drug-eluting Stent for High Bleeding Risk Angioplasty (DEBORA)

October 19, 2021 updated by: Daniel Fernando Zazueta Salido, Instituto Nacional de Cardiologia Ignacio Chavez

Drug-Eluting Balloon Versus Drug-eluting Stent On de Novo coRonary Artery Disease in Patients With High Bleeding Risk

Randomized, single-blind, single-center, non-inferiority clinical trial to compare target lesion failure (TLF) at 12 months in high bleeding risk patients undergoing elective coronary percutaneous intervention comparing limus-eluting balloon vs. limus-eluting stents.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Drug Eluting Stents (DES) are the devices of choice for coronary angioplasty, including in patients with high-bleeding risk.

Different studies have been done to determine which strategy improves bleeding outcomes without risking the benefit of stenting. Different Double Anti-Platelet Therapy (DAPT) durations in different devices have shown that it is safe to reduce DAPT, with an increase in ischemic events but a better net clinical outcome.

Safety and efficacy of Drug Eluting Balloons (DEB) were proved when it was compared with Bare Metal Stents (BMS) in de-novo coronary lesions by presenting no events of target vessel closure after treatment.

Our hypothesis is that treating this group of high-bleeding risk patients with DEB will be no-inferior in terms of target vessel failure at 12 months when compared with DES for treatment of de-novo coronary lesions in high bleeding risk population, reducing incidence of significant bleeding events with DAPT reduction.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Drug Eluting Balloon (DEB)
High Bleeding Risk patients treated with 2.5 - 4.0 mm drug-eluting balloons (DEB). Bailout stenting is permitted in case of a flow-limiting dissection or significant recoil (>30% in main branch and >50% side-branch), includes both stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS) patients undergoing elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).

Size (diameter and length) will be chosen at operator's discretion aid by simple angiography, quantitative coronary analysis (QCA), or intravascular image; so that the lesion previously prepared and 2 mm at each end are covered by DEB, and the diameter and pressure used aims a balloon to artery ratio of 1. In case of significant recoil (more than 30% for main vessels and 50% for side vessels), coronary perforation or flow limiting dissection, provisional stent will be implanted with a stent to artery ratio of 1.1 with stent post-dilatation when indicated. Device will be used in accordance with the CE mark instructions.

DAPT will be given for a month with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor (clopidogrel will be favored). Single anti-platelet therapy (SAPT) with aspirin will be continued thereafter.

Other Names:
  • MagicTouch, Sirolimus coated balloon catheter, diameters 2.5 - 4.0 mm (Concept Medicals, Surat, India)
Active Comparator: Drug Eluting Stents (DES)
High Bleeding Risk patients treated with 2.5 - 4.0 mm drug-eluting stents (DES). Includes both stable CAD and ACS patients undergoing elective PCI.

Size (diameter and length) will be chosen at operator's discretion aid by simple angiography, quantitative coronary analysis (QCA), or intravascular image; so that the lesion previously prepared and 2 mm at each end are covered by DES with an stent to artery ratio of 1.1.
