"Non-flow limiting dissections (type A–C) tend to heal over time after DCB treatment
[with SeQuent® Please NEO]."
CardiovascularNews (Nov 2025, Issue 79) explores why coronary dissections may not, after all, have to be a cause for alarm. Read the full article to learn about recent studies and expert insights – and why device choice matters for long-term outcomes.
Read the full articleInterventional cardiologists often fear the occurrence of dissections after PCI, but when using a drug-coated balloon there can be occasions when dissections have a healing effect.
This was one of many talking points when Patrick W. Serruys (National University of Ireland, Galway) sat down with Cardiovascular News to discuss why dissections should not be feared when performing DCB-PCI with the SeQuent® Please NEO.
Implant-free coronary angioplasty
Drug coated balloon technology – it’s a crucial element in the future of coronary angioplasty for delivering highly effective, implant-free treatment to patients.
As a pioneer and key player in the drug coated balloon field, B. Braun is actively engaged with the interventional cardiology community worldwide – organizing forums for peer-to-peer exchange of treatment strategies, hosting lectures by leading experts and delivering hands-on practical training.
Join our B. Braun DCB Coronary Intervention Hub @ MedShr to explore the evolving role of DCB technology in complex coronary interventions. We provide powerful learning opportunities: Real-world PCI cases with expert insights and discussions on DCB strategy, technique, tips and tricks.

Clinical evidence
B. Braun has been at the forefront of DCB technology from the start – opening up and confirming best-practice options for drug coated balloons with both paclitaxel and sirolimus. B. Braun’s longterm commitment to the DCB field has established an impressive record of clinical evidence – and offers a dynamic way forward, regardless of your preferred treatment drug.
It’s the special crystalline coating of SeQuent® DCBs that makes the most of a DCB’s short period of inflation. Confirmed through large clinical data sets, the sharp-edged spike structures of the crystals ensure the drug’s persistence in the vessel wall.

Summary DCB-based PCI in Multi-Vessel-DiseaseSirolimus coated balloon
B. Braun´s sirolimus coated balloon is the first SCB backed up with published randomized clinical trials for ISR and de-novo lesions.82, 83, 84 SeQuent® SCB 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.85
