OBJECTIVE – Study Antares SAS for treatment
- bifurcation lesions with provisional stenting
- based on acute performance
- side branch access
- positioning
- ostial coverage
CONCLUSION
- Promising feasibility with 9 cases
- Side branch access maintained
- Ostial positioning achieved
- Ostial scaffolding matching asymmetry of MV to SB transition
- QCA, IVUS and longer term results in progress
Further analysis will determine if the design features matching the asymmetric ostial geometry translate into improved clinical outcomes.
