Coronary artery stenting has evolved substantially since the first use of coronary stenting as an adjunct to balloon angioplasty in the early 1990s. The performance (and particularly the deliverability) of coronary stents has improved such that coronary stenting is now the primary mode of revascularisation for percutaneous coronary interventions in more than 95% of cases. Although stent delivery… View more
Coronary artery stenting has evolved substantially and the performance (and particularly the deliverability) of coronary stents has improved such that they are now the primary mode of revascularisation for almost all PCIs. The new Svelte™ stent-on-a-wire (SOAW) delivery system represents one of the first substantive innovations in stent delivery systems (SDS) in more than a decade. Using a… View more

Bifurcation lesions account for approximately 20–30% of all percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). Coronary bifurcation sites are prone to developing obstructive atherosclerotic disease due to turbulent blood flow and change of shear stress. With the complexity of bifurcation lesions, several classification systems have been advocated in order to extablish percutaneous strategies.1–3 In fact… View more
