Transradial percutaneous coronary intervention with Stentys self-apposing stents and Stentys–Yew technique for angulated and ectatic coronary artery

Drug-eluting stent treatment of left main coronary artery disease: The case for a sirolimus-eluting, autoexpandable alternative. An optical coherence tomography analysis

“…Its properties warrant an adaptability to the vessel wall over time, thus reducing the risk of stent struts malapposition and potentially reducing the risk of stent thrombosis; moreover, further advantages are recognizable especially in ectatic coronary arteries [3][4][5], large diameter vessels as saphenous vein grafts, tapered vessels or in complex clinical settings like acute myocardial infarction [6].…”

“…Its properties warrant an adaptability to the vessel wall over time, thus reducing the risk of stent struts malapposition and potentially reducing the risk of stent thrombosis; moreover, further advantages are recognizable especially in ectatic coronary arteries [3][4][5], large diameter vessels as saphenous vein grafts, tapered vessels or in complex clinical settings like acute myocardial infarction [6].Here we are presenting a case of PCI of LMCA treated with new STENTYS-SES with angiographic and optical coherence tomography analysis (OCT) follow-up.A 66 year-old male was admitted at our department for an anterior non-ST elevation myocardial infarction with hemodynamic impairment. Coronary angiography showed two-vessel coronary disease with significant stenosis of the distal left main coronary artery involving the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) (Fig.…”

First-in-man unprotected left main stenting with Stentys Xposition S self-apposing sirolimus eluting stent and optical coherence tomography guidance: The emerging panacea for left main intervention

“…The right coronary artery (RCA) was angulated, tortuous and ectatic with severe stenosis at the proximal and mid segment. He was stented with several overlapping Stentys paclitaxel eluting coronary stents [1]. We did not proceed to intervene on the left coronary system during the same setting as the patient was becoming restless towards the end of the procedure.…”
