  Purpose

How to use drug eluting stents (DES) in bifurcation lesions. A strategy of routine stenting of both main vessel and side branch versus a strategy of routine main vessel stenting and optional treatment of side branch. A randomized Nordic multicenter study including 400 patients with angina pectoris with clinical angiographic follow-up.

Further study details as provided by Skejby Hospital:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Combined end-point of cardiac death, MI, stent thrombosis or TVR. [ Time Frame: After 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Clinical: MACE (cardiac death, MI, stent thrombosis or TVR) during hospital period, after 1 and 8 months. Cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, TVR, total death, TLR during hospital period, after 1, 6 and 8 months. Myocardial infarction [ Time Frame: During hospital periode, after 1, 6 and months. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Angiographic: Restenosis of the main vessel and/or occlusion of the side branch. Late loss of main vessel and side branch after 8 months. Angiographic restenosis (>50% diameter stenosis) rate of main vessel and side branch after 8 months. [ Time Frame: After 8 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
