Core Tip	Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the preferred reperfusion therapy for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Stent implantation is considered as a routine during PPCI as it is associated with reduction of ischaemic end-points. Drug-coated balloon (DCB) has emerged as a new therapeutic option to treat coronary artery disease as stent technology has certain limitations. There is however limited data on the feasibility of using DCB as primary therapy in PPCI. We evaluated the clinical safety and efficacy of using paclitaxel-coated balloon in patients undergoing PPCI for STEMI and report on our 30 d clinical outcomes.
