We share a clinical case performed at Hospital del Mar by Dr. Héctor Cubero Gallego, MD, PhD, which highlights a metal implant-free strategy in the treatment of a diffuse lesion in a small vessel.
➡️ Patient with SCASEST and severe fibrocalcified lesion in the second obtuse marginal branch.
➡️ Plate preparation guided by IVUS using a cutting balloon RevoEdge™.
➡️ Definitive treatment with a drug-eluting balloon MagicTouch™ (sirolimus), optimizing drug release with prolonged inflation.
✅ Final result:
• TIMI 3 Flow
• No significant residual stenosis
• Without limiting dissections
• Asymptomatic patient at 12-month follow-up
This case reinforces the role of drug-eluting balloon therapy as an effective alternative that preserves coronary anatomy and function without leaving permanent metal.
