Abstract :
We present a complex bifurcation lesion treated with a new two-stent strategy combining a dedicated sirolimus eluting bifurcation
stent, BiOSS Lim, with a bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS). The advantages of this strategy compared with the conventional
two-stent approach are as follows: the dedicated stent protects the carina from being damaged, the large cell at the middle zone of
the BiOSS Lim gives possibility to enter easily into the side branch (SB) with any standard size conventional device, and, finally, the
additional use of BVS in the SB could have a long-term benefit in terms of restenosis.
