The "L-Sandwich" Strategy for True Coronary Bifurcation Lesions: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study explored the efficacy of the "L-sandwich" strategy, which involves the implantation of stents in the main vessel (MV) and shaft of the side branch (SB) with a drug-coated balloon (DCB) applied to the SB ostium, for coronary true bifurcation lesions.

Methods and results

Of 99 patients with true bifurcation lesions, 38 patients underwent the "L-sandwich" strategy (group A), 32 patients underwent a two-stent strategy (group B), and 29 patients underwent a single-stent + DCB strategy (group C). Angiography outcomes (late lumen loss [LLL], minimum lumen diameter [MLD]), and clinical outcomes (major adverse cardiac events [MACEs]) were analyzed. At 6 months, the MLD of the SB ostium in groups A and B were simil
