5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Coronary bifurcation lesions pose therapeutic problems during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and are associated with higher rates of periprocedural complications as well as higher rates of in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. Therefore the optimal approach to coronary bifurcations treatment is still a subject of debate, especially when the side branch is large, not easily accessible and narrowed by a long lesion. One of the proposed alternatives are dedicated bifurcation stents (DBS). However, there is large scarcity of randomized trials with DBS.
The aim of POLBOS I (POLish Bifurcation Optimal Stenting) study was to compare two intervention strategies for bifurcation treatment: provisional T-stenting (PTS) with any regular drug-eluting stent (rDES), the best treatment strategy at the moment, with stenting of bifurcation lesions with dedicated bifurcation paclitaxel-eluting stent BiOSS Expert® (Balton, PL).
