The role of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) has mostly been investigated in simple coronary lesions. True bifurcational stenoses are one of the major challenges in interventional cardiology. We report here a successful case of a hybrid approach using a bioresorbable scaffold and a drug-eluting metallic stent to treat a true bifurcational lesion. Due to the degradable character of the BRS, only one metallic stent remains and thus the risk of restenosis can possibly be reduced. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     «
