The secondary aim was to study the effect of final kissing balloon inflation (FKBI) on clinical outcomes.Methods and results: Between December 2012 and December 2013, 202 patients with stable coronary artery disease or non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome were randomly assigned 1:1 to treatment of the coronary bifurcation lesions either with the BiOSS LIM stent (n=102) or with an rDES (n=100). Coronary re-angiography was performed at 12 months. The primary endpoint was the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and target lesion revascularisation (TLR) at 12 months. The target vessel was located in the left main in one third of the cases (35.3% in BiOSS and 38% in rDES). Side branch treatment was required in 8.8% (rDES) and 7% (BiOSS). At 12 months, the cumulative MACE incidence was similar in both groups (11.8% [ BiOSS] vs. 15% [rDES, p=0.08]), as was the TLR rate (9.8% vs. 9% [p=0.8]). The binary restenosis rates were significantly lower in the FKBI subgroup of the BiOSS group (5.9% vs. 11.8%, p PB Europa edition SN 1774-024X YR 2016 FD 2016-12-01 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10668/26751 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10668/26751 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 8, 2025
