Marc Bosiers replied to your comment on presentation Overview DCB treatment in BTK arteries.

»Dear Konstantinos, In my opinion DCB in BTK arteries should be reserved within a clinical trial until further evidence of superiority is available.«

Konstantinos Stavroulakis commented on presentation Overview DCB treatment in BTK arteries.

»Dear Dr. Bosiers, excellent presentation in a very controversial topic. Do you think that, we should use DCBs in BTK lesions only in the framework of clinical trials? And if not, which kind of lesions would you treat with DCB angioplasty below the knee?«
