A strategy of percutaneous bifurcation intervention with provisional bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation followed by drug-eluting balloon (DEB) treatment represents a valuable opportunity in patients not compliant with long-duration dual-antiplatelet therapy. We used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess coronary bifurcation lesions treated by BMS and DEB, and secondarily, to better explore the association between stent geometry and tissue coverage.

Abstract
A strategy of percutaneous bifurcation intervention with provisional bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation followed by drug-eluting balloon (DEB) treatment represents a valuable opportunity in patients not compliant with long-duration dual-antiplatelet therapy. We used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess coronary bifurcation lesions treated by BMS and DEB, and secondarily, to better explore the association between stent geometry and tissue coverage.
