Percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary bifurcation lesions represents one of the most challenging procedures in interventional cardiology because of lower angiographic success rate and increased risk of procedural complications. The study is designed to enroll 200 patients with acute or chronic coronary syndromes that meet the indications for intervention and with angiographic confirmed de novo Medina type 0,1,0 or 0,0,1 bifurcation lesion. In view of the potential risks of using DCB alone in the treatment of de novo bifurcation lesions, the following 2 treatment strategies are available. (1) DCB combined with provisional DES implantation 1-2 mm distally to the lesion ostium whenever this was required (DCB+pDES strategy). (2) DES implantation 1-2 mm distally to the lesion ostium followed by DCB (DES+DCB strategy). The primary endpoint was late lumen loss and major adverse cardiovascular events.

late lumen loss

Time frame: 9 months follow-up
major adverse cardiovascular events
include cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization.
