Lee Jin-hwa, a professor of circulatory technology at Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital, won the Excellence Award at the International Intervention Society, 『Encore Seoul 2024" (Endovascular & Coronary Revascularization in Seoul 2024), held at Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas on the 11th.

Professor Jinhwa Lee was honored with the presentation of 'Effectiveness and Stability of a New Parklitaxel Coated Balloon with Shellac and Vitamin E excipients: a prospective, multicenter, single-group study of patients with novel coronary artery lesions'.

Drug-coated balloons have recently attracted attention as a novel treatment in the treatment of coronary stenosis, in which the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart are narrowed or blocked. The treatment covers the drug-coated stent with a balloon and then approaches the area where the coronary artery is constricted. After that, the balloon is inflated, a stent is inserted, and the drug is released to treat blood vessels.



In this study, 20 patients with coronary stenosis underwent coronary artery surgery with a new paclitaxel-coated balloon (hereinafter GENOSS DCB)' with shellac and vitamin E excipients developed by Korean researchers. The main evaluation index was late lumen loss after 6 months.

As a result of the study, the procedure was successful in all patients and the loss of the lumen of blood vessels was observed at -0.17±0.3㎜ at 6 months of follow-up, indicating a significant improvement in blood vessel condition. In addition, there was no restenosis of blood vessels, and vascular patency was maintained. In addition, it showed a stable treatment effect for 6 months without the occurrence of major cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction.



Professor Lee Jin-hwa "This study confirms that GENOSS DCB developed in Korea can be a safe and effective alternative to coronary artery disease"We will continue our research to provide better treatments for patients in the future."."
