It is still uncertain whether coronary bifurcations with lesions involving a large side branch (SB) should be treated by stenting the main vessel and provisional stenting of the SB (simple) or by routine two-stent techniques (complex). We aimed to compare clinical outcome after treatment of lesions in large bifurcations by simple or complex stent implantation.
The study was a randomised, superiority trial. Enrolment required a SB≥2.75 mm, ≥50% diameter stenosis in both vessels, and allowed SB lesion length up to 15 mm. The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiac death, non-procedural myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularisation at 6 months. Two-year clinical follow-up was included in this primary reporting due to lower than expected event rates.
A total of 450 patients were assigned to simple stenting (n=221) or complex stenting (n=229) in 14 Nordic and Baltic centres. Two-year follow-up was available in 218 (98.6%) and 228 (99.5%) patients, respectively. The primary endpoint of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 6 months was 5.5% vs 2.2% (risk differences 3.2%, 95% CI -0.2 to 6.8, p=0.07) and at 2 years 12.9% vs 8.4% (HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.35 to 1.13, p=0.12) after simple versus complex treatment. In the subgroup treated by newer generation drug-eluting stents, MACE was 12.0% vs 5.6% (HR 0.45, 95% CI 0.17 to 1.17, p=0.10) after simple versus complex treatment.
In the treatment of bifurcation lesions involving a large SB with ostial stenosis, routine two-stent techniques did not improve outcome significantly compared with treatment by the simpler main vessel stenting technique after 2 years.

对于病变累及大分支血管(SB)的冠状动脉分叉病变,究竟应采用主支血管支架置入并对分支血管进行临时支架置入(简单术式)还是常规双支架技术(复杂术式)进行治疗仍不明确。我们旨在比较简单或复杂支架植入治疗大分叉病变后的临床结局。
本研究为一项随机优效性试验。入组要求分支血管≥2.75毫米,两支血管直径狭窄均≥50%,且分支血管病变长度可达15毫米。主要终点为6个月时的心源性死亡、非手术相关心肌梗死和靶病变血运重建的复合终点。由于事件发生率低于预期,本次主要报告纳入了两年的临床随访。
在14个北欧和波罗的海中心,共有450例患者被分配至简单支架置入组(n = 221)或复杂支架置入组(n = 229)。分别有218例(98.6%)和228例(99.5%)患者有两年的随访数据。简单治疗与复杂治疗后,6个月时主要不良心血管事件(MACE)的主要终点分别为5.5%和2.2%(风险差异3.2%,95%CI -0.2至6.8,p = 0.07),两年时分别为12.9%和8.4%(HR 0.63,95%CI 0.35至1.13,p = 0.12)。在接受新一代药物洗脱支架治疗的亚组中,简单治疗与复杂治疗后MACE分别为12.0%和5.6%(HR 0.45,95%CI 0.17至1.17,p = 0.10)。
在治疗伴有开口狭窄的大分支血管分叉病变时,与采用更简单的主支血管支架置入技术治疗相比,常规双支架技术在两年后并未显著改善结局。
