Y Stenting of a Bifurcation Stenosis Using a New Radiopaque Stent

A case of Ystenting using radiopaque stem for a bifurcation stenosis is described. Angiography and intravascular ultrasound demonstrate that in spite of optimal stent placement there is an area of the lesion that is not fully covered by the stents. This may predispose to subacute thrombosis and rest...

Zusammenfassung:A case of Ystenting using radiopaque stem for a bifurcation stenosis is described. Angiography and intravascular ultrasound demonstrate that in spite of optimal stent placement there is an area of the lesion that is not fully covered by the stents. This may predispose to subacute thrombosis and restenosis. This case illustrates a potential deficiency of this type of bifurcation stenting. (J Interven Cardiol 2001;14:21–25)
