TCT-395 Dedicated coronary bifurcation stent BiOSS in patients with diabetes. Does the design matter?

Stent "concertina:" stent design does matter.

The development of modern coronary stent platforms has transformed the landscape of interventional cardiology. Contemporary coronary stents are much more deliverable than older-generation stents. However, longitudinal deformation has emerged as a "new" complication in modern coronary stent platforms. Although most reported cases of longitudinal stent deformation involve mechanical or technical ...

Does carotid stent cell design matter?

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid stent cell design has recently been suggested to be a determinant of periprocedural and early postprocedural neurologic complications. We investigated the impact of closed- versus open-cell stent design on neurologic adverse events and mortality after carotid artery stenting. METHODS We studied 1684 consecutive patients (1010 asymptomatic, 674 symptomatic) from ...

[Ultrasound findings in a coronary bifurcation lesion treated using the frontier dedicated stent system].

A 66-year-old man with hypertension and acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation underwent cardiac catheterization. Single-vessel disease was observed at the bifurcation of the left anterior descending artery and diagonal artery (LAD-Dg), which was treated with an 18-mm MultiLink Frontier dedicated stent mounted on a dual balloon system that leaves a metal-free side portal oriented ...

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...
