Background Percutaneous coronary interventions with standard balloon or bare metal stent for bifurcational lesion carry a significant restenosis rate of both vessels. Conclusion This study demonstrates that the technique of using DES for the main branch and DEB for the side branch for the treatment of bifurcational lesions is safe and effective with a low incidence of restenosis and major adverse cardiac events at immediate and six-twelve months follow-up.
