The BIPAX clinical trial is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, clinical trial evaluating the investigational coronary bifurcation device Nile PAX® in patients with main branch reference vessel diameters >= 2.5 mm and <= 3.5 mm, side branch reference vessel diameters >= 2.0 and <= 3.0 and lesion length <= 14 mm. The trial allows the treatment of a single de novo bifurcation lesion in native coronary arteries following the provisional T-stenting technique with mandatory pre-dilatation of the main branch. In case the side branch requires a stent the treatment will be completed when possible with a Delta PAX® Drug Eluting Side Branch Stent.~The BIPAX clinical trial will enroll 100 patients. All patients will receive Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA) after stent implantation and at 9 months follow-up. All patients will have a clinical follow-up at 1, 6, 9 and 12 months and subsequently every year up to 5 years.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Nile PAX® Drug Eluting Coronary Bifurcation Stent System for the treatment of single de novo bifurcation lesions in native coronary arteries with a main branch reference vessel diameter of 2.5-3.5 mm and side branch reference vessel diameter of 2.0-3.0 mm.
