Abstract

<p>The success of Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) angioplasty hinges critically on effectively preventing coronary artery recoil, an acute elastic response that threatens procedural efficacy and long-term vessel patency. While technical approaches remain foundational, emerging evidence reveals dietary intervention as a pivotal, yet significantly undervalued strategy. At Bethsaida Hospital, under the visionary leadership of Prof. Dasaad Mulijono, implementing a whole-food, plant-based dietary regimen before DCB procedures has profoundly decreased acute recoil incidence. Remarkably, this dietary approach has yielded a restenosis rate of only 2%, marking one of the lowest recorded outcomes in Indonesia. Such compelling data underscore the potential of dietary modification, particularly emphasizing foods rich in Nitric Oxide (NO) precursors and antioxidants, as a potentially revolutionary adjunctive therapy in interventional cardiology. Given these provocative findings, further rigorous investigations are urgently required to confirm the robustness and broad applicability of these transformative dietary interventions.<br></p>
