Abstract: Objective  This study was to evaluate the efficacy of drug-coated balloons(DCB) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods  A total of 75 AMI patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with DCB treatment of culprit lesion in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University,  from August 2018 to July 2022 were enrolled in this study. The clinical data, characteristics of coronary artery lesion and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results  The procedural success rate was 100%, and the incidence of clinical adverse events in hospitalization was 8%. During the 30-day follow-up, 2 patients (2.7%) were readmitted for heart failure. During a median follow-up of 16 months, there were 9 cases (12%) of non-fatal myocardial infarction, 5 cases (6.7%) of target lesion revascularization, 4 cases (5.3%) of heart failure readmission, and 3 cases (4%) of stroke. The long-term cumulative main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) rate was 24%, and the Kaplan-Meier estimated long-term MACCE-free survival rate was 63.6%(47.3%-79.8%). Conclusions  For specific lesions in AMI, such as in-stent occlusion, small vessel disease and bifurcation lesions, DCB angioplasty in primary PCI has a high success rate and a good long-term prognosis.
