Two‐year follow‐up of a randomized multicenter study comparing a drug‐coated balloon with a drug‐eluting stent in native small coronary vessels: The RESTORE Small Vessel Disease China trial

Objectives To report the clinical outcomes of the RESTORE drug‐coated balloon (DCB; Cardionovum, Bonn, Germany) for treatment of de novo small vessel disease (SVD) beyond 1 year. Background Previous reports have demonstrated the noninferiority of the RESTORE DCB to the RESOLUTE Integrity drug‐eluting stent (DES; Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota) in terms of 9‐month in‐segment percent diameter stenosis. Methods In the prospective, multicenter, noninferiority RESTORE SVD China trial, 230 patients with visually‐estimated reference vessel diameter (RVD) ≥2.25 and ≤2.75 mm were randomized to DCB or DES in a 1:1 ratio stratified by diabetes and number of lesions treated. Furthermore, 32 patients with RVD ≥2.00 and
