The Jailed Stent-Balloon Bifurcation Stenting Technique.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bifurcation stenting of the coronary arteries represents a technical challenge that places patients at risk for poor outcomes. Existing techniques result in multiple stent layers at the neocarina, making for a challenging side branch recross and necessitating multiple kissing balloon inflations. This article presents a novel bifurcation stenting technique that provides full side branch coverage while maintaining carinal geometry, with an easier side branch recross and less technical complexity. Clinical outcomes at 1-year were investigated.

Methods

Feasibility of the technique was demonstrated in a wet heart model. A retrospective cohort study was then performed of patients undergoing jailed stent-balloon bifurcation stenting at a single tertiary academic center.
