Upfront DCB-based hybrid strategyUpfront 2-stenting strategy

Upfront DCB-based hybrid strategy: In upfront DCB-based hybrid strategy group, stepwise provisional strategy with side branch DCB angioplasty will be performed according to the follow standardized procedural steps. In this group, provisional stenting strategy will be performed in accordance with the European Bifurcation Club (EBC) consensus. Bail-out stenting will be performed using operator's preferred technique (e.g. T, TAP, culotte) when there will be one of the following after hybrid strategy: \<TIMI 3 flow in the side branch, severe (\>90%) ostial pinching, or flow-limiting dissection.

Upfront 2-stenting strategy: In upfront 2-stenting strategy group, systematic planned 2-stenting will be performed according to EBC recommendations. The stent technique will be at the discretion of the operator but could be one of culotte, DK-culotte, mini-crush, DK-crush, T or TAP.

Study summary

A prospective, multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled, superiority trial. The aim of the study is to compare clinical outcomes between upfront 2-stenting strategy versus upfront drug-coated balloon (DCB)-based hybrid strategy in patients with complex coronary bifurcation with clinically relevant side branch lesions.

Inclusion Criteria * Subject must be at least 19 years of age * Patients with acute or chronic coronary syndrome intended for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) * Patients with de novo complex coronary bifurcation with clinically relevant side branch. Definition of complex coronary bifurcation with clinically relevant side branch is true bifurcation lesion (Medina 1,1,1 / 1,0,1 / 0,1,1) with side branch lesion length ≥10mm and should meet at least one of the below criteria. i. Left main bifurcation with side branch stenosis severity ≥70% by visual estimation ii. Non-left main bifurcation with side branch reference vessel diameter ≥2.75mm and stenosis severity ≥90% by visual estimation * Subject who can verbally confirm understandings of risks, benefits and treatment alternatives of receiving invasive approach and he/she or his/her legally authorized representative provides written informed consent prior to any study related procedure. Exclusion Criteria * Hemodynamically unstable condition (SBP \<90 mmHg even after administration of vasopressor, ventricular arrhythmias, or cardiogenic shock) * Known true anaphylaxis to contrast medium (not allergic reaction but anaphylactic shock) * Known significant congenital, severe valvular or cardiomyopathic (hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy, or any other forms) process which could explain cardiac symptoms. * Severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction \<30%) * Intolerance to aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, prasugrel, or heparin. * Non-cardiac co-morbid conditions are present with life expectancy \<1 year or that may result in protocol non-compliance (per site investigator's medical judgment) * Unwillingness or inability to comply with the procedures described in this protocol.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE) — 1 year after last patient enrollment
    MACE (a composite of death, MI, clinically-driven target-vessel revascularization), according to the Academic Research Consortium (ARC) II-consensus.
