Condition(s) studied

Coronary Artery Disease

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Stenting

Stenting: DK crush technique with SYNERGY (Boston Scientific) drug-eluting stent implantation.

Study summary

This study is designed to investigate whether IVUS-guided DK crush stenting technique compared to angiography-guided DK crush after the indexed procedure will lead to lower rates of the composite endpoint of target vessel failure (TVF) at 12 months. The individual components of TVF include cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction (MI), or target vessel revascularization (TVR). Complex bifurcation lesions were defined according to DEFINITION study.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Rate of target vessel failure — 12 months after DES implantation
    TVF defined as the composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (TVMI), and clinically driven TVR.
