Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study was originally designed to enroll 600 patients with de novo bifurcation lesions in native coronary arteries. The treatment will be single session stent implant with the Biolimus eluting Axxess stent system. Clinical follow up take place at 1, 6, 9 months, and annually for 5 years. Data will be compared to historical data set derived from the literature for patients treated with metal stents.

The study was modified to only enroll outside of the United States, therefore enrollment was limited to 300 study subjects. (The original study plan called for 300 OUS and 300 US.)
