The aim of the study is to compare clinical outcomes between upfront 2-stenting strategy versus upfront drug-coated balloon (DCB)-based hybrid strategy in patients with complex coronary bifurcation with clinically relevant side branch lesions.', 'detailedDescription': 'Among complex coronary artery lesions, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for true bifurcation lesions has been challenging to perform and associated with a higher risk of mortality, unplanned repeat revascularization or stent thrombosis.15-17 Although current guidelines recommend 1-stenting with provisional side branch approach as an initial treatment strategy for the bifurcation lesions based on previous trials,11,12,18-22 there are studies that demonstrate better or similar outcomes with the upfront 2-stenting strategy.3,4,21,23 Of note, these trials that have favored upfront 2-stenting strategy have shown a tendency for better efficacy of 2-stenting as the severity of bifurcation lesions increases.3,4,21,23 Considering that the discrepancy among study results could be attributable to the complexity of true bifurcation lesions, it can be argued that 1-stenting with provisional SB approach by conventional balloon dilatation shows limitations in dealing with severely complex true bifurcation lesions.\n\nDuring provisional stenting, unplanned side branch stenting is associated with worse clinical outcomes.24 In addition, SB failure occurred more frequently than main vessel failure in both 1-stenting and 2-stenting group.25 Considering these results, there have been some studies trying to demonstrate the effect of drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty at side branch during the PCI for bifurcation lesions.5,26 In the most recent trial, DCB angioplasty yielded better results compared to conventional simple balloon dilatation.5 Thus, for true bifurcation lesions, upfront DCB-based hybrid strategy could serve as a good alternative treatment strategy that improves clinical outcomes for patients with complex coronary bifurcation lesion with clinically relevant side branch.\n\nOn this background, this trial sought to compare the clinical outcomes between upfront DCB-based hybrid strategy and upfront 2-stenting strategy in patients with complex coronary bifurcation with clinically relevant side branch.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '19 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria\n\n* Subject must be at least 19 years of age\n* Patients with acute or chronic coronary syndrome intended for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)\n* Patients with de novo complex coronary bifurcation with clinically relevant side branch.
