TCT-29 First-in-Man Study of Dedicated Bifurcation Sirolimus-Eluting Stent BiOSS LIM

Treatment of a Coronary Bifurcation Lesion Using One Dedicated Sirolimus Eluting Bifurcation Stent in Combination with a Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold: A Novel Option for Coronary Bifurcation Approach

We present a complex bifurcation lesion treated with a new two-stent strategy combining a dedicated sirolimus eluting bifurcation stent, BiOSS Lim, with a bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS). The advantages of this strategy compared with the conventional two-stent approach are as follows: the dedicated stent protects the carina from being damaged, the large cell at the middle zone of the BiOS...

TCT-302: Long-term follow up of sirolimus-eluting stent(SES) implanted in coronary bifurcation lesion: Insight from OCT observations

PPMI. PPMI defined as 3-fold increase in CK-MB or troponin-I after procedure and patients initially diagnosed with MI excluded. Results: In multivariate analysis, the independent predictors for PPMI after bifurcation stenting were acute closure in side branch, unstable angina, more than 30mm in total stent length of parent vessel (PV), left main or 3 vessel disease, and Taxus® in PV (HR=4.177; ...

Endothelial dysfunction after sirolimus-eluting stent placement.

n this issue of the Journal, Togni et al. (1) report that xercise-induced coronary vasomotion is abnormal in segents proximal and distal to sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) hen evaluated six months after deployment. While subects who had received bare-metal stents demonstrated ormal exercise-induced vasodilation, subjects with SES learly demonstrated paradoxical vasoconstriction in peritent segme...
