SeQuent® DCBs
Backing up cardiologists with unparalleled clinical data and proven performance for both paclitaxel and sirolimus coated balloons.
Cooporation
What role do DCBs play in the modern interventional cardiology toolbox? Dr. Victor Jimenez takes on this and other questions from Cardiovascular News. He discusses how DCBs can address some of the limitations of DES platforms and the clinical scenarios in which balloons are favourable.
Dr. Marie-Claude Morice (Institute Hospitalier Jacques Cartier, Massy, France) discusses the future role of DCBs in coronary interventions. Learn about the upcoming topic of DCBs in de-novo lesions, the ongoing exciting research and the benefits of leaving nothing behind.
Read the articleDr. Tuomas Rissanen (North Karelia Central Hospital, Joensuu, Finland) speaks to Cardiovascular News about the benefits of using a drug coated balloon, the clinical indications that are most suited and why a wide set of data is key.

Paclitaxel coated balloon
B. Braun´s paclitaxel coated balloon SeQuent® Please NEO is the best investigated DCB [1] in the field of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). It has demonstrated its convincing performance, efficacy and safety in more than 110 published studies (including more than 35 RCTs) – with over 25,000 documented patients, conducted in more than 20 countries.

Summary DCB-based PCI in Multi-Vessel-DiseaseSirolimus coated balloon
B. Braun´s new sirolimus coated balloon is the first SCB backed up with published randomized clinical trials for ISR and de-novo lesions. [2], [3], [4] SeQuent® SCB now offers new implant-free options for treating coronary ISR and de-novo lesions, providing excellent results in targeted drug delivery and sirolimus persistence. The combination of sirolimus and BHT (Butylated Hydroxy Toluol) creates the desired crystalline sirolimus modification to reach best results regarding sirolimus vessel wall content compared to other excipients.
