Coronary artery disease is often treated by implantation of permanent metallic stents.Coronary stents are required in the early healing phase after balloon dilatation but constitute a lifelong foreign body. New bioresorbable stents have been developed and are believed to improve long-term safety. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and vessel healing after treatment of simple bifurcation lesions with the CE-marked bioresorbable stents Absorb and Desolve.
BIFSORB is a prospective, randomized multicenter trial comparing 6-month healing outcome after treatment of simple coronary bifurcation lesions by Absorb or Desolve BRS. for treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions.
BRS are promising in treatment of coronary artery disease. The concept of bifurcation treatment using BRS is particular appealing as struts covering the side branch ostium may resorb over time.
The aim of this study is to compare the 6 months safety and vessel healing after treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions by the Desolve or Absorb BRS.
Hypothesis: Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions using Absorb and Desolve bioresorbable stents is safe. Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions by Desolve BRS is associated with a lower index of adverse vessel wall features (main vessel area stenosis, acquired malapposition, evaginations, late recoil, single end attached protruding struts, side branch ostial area stenosis) at 6 months compared to treatment with Absorb BRS.
Methods:
Prospective, open label, single blind, randomized, feasibility and safety pilot study with inclusion of 120 patients. Randomization 1:1 to Absorb or Desolve. Planned 6- and 24-month follow-up by OCT and follow-up for clinical endpoints until 10 years.
Eligible patients with a bifurcation lesion are treated by the provisional technique with mandatory jailing of the side branch and provisional opening of side branch ostium by the mini-kiss technique in case of severe pinching or TIMI-flow less than III. Proximal post-dilatation is mandatory. No dilatation beyond the expansion limits of the BRS.
The patients are assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) before, during and after implantation of the Absorb or Desolve BRS at baseline procedure and again at 6- and 24-month follow-up, or before if they are readmitted with a possible target lesion failure.
The operator is not blinded to pre-PCI OCT images that may be used for sizing and positioning of the scaffolds. Procedural OCT may be used to optimize scaffold implantation before performing final OCT.
Results are reported as clinical safety at 6 months (myocardial infarction, revascularization, death) and stent healing index by OCT including malapposition, stent coverage, side branch ostial area late loss, fracture and evaginations.
