Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between prescription drugs and the slow-flow phenomenon after drug-coated balloon angioplasty. Of 30 patients, five (17%) presented with the slow-flow phenomenon. Patients with the slow-flow phenomenon were significantly less commonly prescribed calcium channel blockers than those without the slow-flow phenomenon (P ¼ 0.03). There was no intergroup difference in the prescription of angiotensin II receptor blockers and b-blockers. The clinical outcomes, including restenosis, thrombosis, target lesion revascularization, and death, did not differ between groups during the 10-month observation period.
