About this trial

The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and the efficacy of a hybrid percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy combining a magnesium-based sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold (Freesolve, Biotronik AG, Switzerland) and ≥1 paclitaxel-eluting drug-coated balloon(s) (Pantera Lux, Biotronik AG, Switzerland) compared to a conventional DES-based PCI approach using \>1 newer-generation drug-eluting stents (Orsiro Mission, Biotronik AG, Switzerland) for the treatment of patients with long and/or diffuse coronary artery lesions suitable for PCI with respect to vessel-level absolute change in non-invasive angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRangio, CathWorks, Newport Beach, USA) between post-index PCI and 12-month follow-up.

BIOHYBRID is a coronary revascularization strategy study comparing two contemporary treatment approaches for patients with long and/or diffuse coronary artery lesions undergoing PCI.

The primary hypothesis of the study is that a hybrid PCI strategy using a 'leave nothing behind' or 'metal-free' approach that combines a bioresorbable magnesium scaffold and drug-coated balloons for the treatment of patients with long and/or diffuse coronary artery lesions suitable for PCI is feasible.

The secondary hypothesis is that a hybrid PCI strategy combining a bioresorbable magnesium scaffold and drug-coated balloons is non-inferior to a conventional DES-based PCI approach using one or several DES for the treatment of patients with long and/or diffuse coronary artery lesions suitable for PCI with respect to vessel-level absolute change in FFRangio (CathWorks, Newport Beach, USA) between post-index PCI and at 12 months of follow-up.
