Bifurcation Stenting Using 2 Link Stent Nobori Versus 3 Link Stent Xience (BEGIN)

April 6, 2015 updated by: Kurashiki Central Hospital

A Multicenter, Randomized Trial to Compare 2 Link Nobori and 3 Link Xience Stents in Bifurcation Stenting

The primary objective of this study is to make a comparison of safety and efficacy of DESs with different link number (2-link Nobori and 3-link Xience) in patients with de novo true bifurcation lesions.

The minimum lumen diameter of the side branch ostium in bifurcation at 8 months and the MACE rate until one year after PCI will be assessed in both groups.
