This study indicated that nonstented moderate and severe postangioplasty dissections after DCB angioplasty were associated with higher risk for MALE. Future studies are needed to validate our results and determine other dissection characteristics (eg, total dissection length, lumen area, total number of dissections) that may affect the efficacy of DCB.
