Inclusion Criteria: * Patient voluntarily participates in the study and has provided written informed consent. * Presence of clinical indication for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) of the Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) (e.g., symptoms of angina pectoris or evidence of myocardial ischemia). * Target lesion is located in a de novo coronary artery. * Angiographically confirmed CTO (TIMI grade 0 flow), with evidence supporting an occlusion duration of ≥ 3 months. * Successful guidewire crossing of the target CTO lesion has been achieved during the index procedure. * After adequate vessel preparation: Distal TIMI grade 3 flow has been restored; Target lesion residual diameter stenosis is \< 50% (e.g., by visual estimate or QCA as per protocol); Absence of flow-limiting dissection or other complications requiring immediate stent implantation. * Target vessel Reference Vessel Diameter (RVD) is between 2.25 mm and 4.0 mm (inclusive, assessed by visual estimate or QCA/IVUS as per protocol). * In the judgment of the interventional operator, the lesion is deemed suitable for treatment with both a Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB)-based strategy and a Drug-Eluting Stent (DES)-only strategy. * Patient is able and willing to comply with the study protocol requirements, including the specified follow-up schedule. * Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment and agree to use an effective method of contraception throughout the study period. Exclusion Criteria: * Target CTO lesion is the culprit vessel responsible for the presenting Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). * Patient is in cardiogenic shock. * Presence of severe heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class IV) or Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) \< 30%. * History of stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) within the previous 3 months. * Known high risk of bleeding or contraindication to Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT). * Presence of severe hepatic impairment and/or severe renal impairment (e.g., estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate \[eGFR\] \< 30 ml/min/1.73m² or requirement for chronic dialysis). * Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to required study medications (e.g., antiplatelet agents, contrast media), DCB/DES drug coatings, or device materials (e.g., stent alloys, polymers). * Target lesion located in an unprotected left main coronary artery, a saphenous vein graft, or an arterial graft. * Presence of severe lesion calcification that prevents adequate vessel expansion despite attempted lesion preparation techniques (e.g., rotational atherectomy, intravascular lithotripsy). * Target lesion is a CTO within a previously stented segment (In-Stent Restenosis \[ISR\] or In-Stent Thrombosis \[IST\]). * Failed attempt at CTO recanalization during the index procedure (i.e., failure to cross the lesion with a guidewire or failure to restore TIMI grade 3 flow). * Occurrence of a complication after vessel preparation that necessitates immediate stent implantation (e.g., flow-limiting dissection, perforation requiring a covered stent). * Concurrent enrollment in another interventional clinical trial that may interfere with the study endpoints or assessments. * Female patient is pregnant or breastfeeding. * Patient judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for the study for any reason, including anticipated poor compliance with the protocol.
