The Bioresorbable Implants for Scaffolding Obstructions in Randomized Bifurcations (BIFSORB) Study
Bioresorbable Vascular Stents for Treatment of Coronary Bifurcation Lesions Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography - The BIFSORB Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Coronary artery disease is often treated by implantation of permanent metallic stents.Coronary stents are required in the early healing phase after balloon dilatation but constitute a lifelong foreign body. New bioresorbable stents have been developed and are believed to improve long-term safety. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and vessel healing after treatment of simple bifurcation lesions with the CE-marked bioresorbable stents Absorb and Desolve.
