Multicentre, Randomized Trial Comfirms Two-stent Approach Improves Clinical Outcomes Compared with Provisional Stenting Approach in Complex Coronary Bifurcation Lesions According to DEFINITION Criteria CBSMD丨Jun 28,2020

AIM - The present study aimed to assess the benefits of two-stent techniques for patients with DEFINITION criteria-defined complex coronary bifurcation lesions.


METHODS AND RESULTS - In total; 653 patients with complex bifurcation lesions at 49 international centres were randomly assigned to undergo the systematic two-stent technique (two-stent group) or provisional stenting (provisional group). The primary endpoint was the composite of target lesion failure (TLF) at the 1-year follow-up; including cardiac death; target vessel myocardial infarction (TVMI); and clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TLR). The safety endpoint was definite or probable stent thrombosis. At the 1-year follow-up; TLF occurred in 37 (11.4%) and 20 (6.1%) patients in the provisional and two-stent groups; respectively [77.8%: double-kissing crush; hazard ratio (HR) 0.52; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.300.90; P = 0.019]; largely driven by increased TVMI (7.1%; HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.200.90; P = 0.025) and clinically driven TLR (5.5%; HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.191.00; P = 0.049) in the provisional group. At the 1 year after indexed procedures; the incidence of cardiac death was 2.5% in the provisional group; non-significant to 2.1% in the two-stent group (HR 0.86; 95% CI 0.312.37; P = 0.772).


CONCLUSION - For DEFINITION criteria-defined complex coronary bifurcation lesions; the systematic two-stent approach was associated with a significant improvement in clinical outcomes compared with the provisional stenting approach. Further study is urgently warranted to identify the mechanisms contributing to the increased rate of TVMI after provisional stenting.
