Final kissing balloon inflation with non compliant balloons. Is it better ? A pilot study
Author: Dr. Thomas Hovasse, ICPS, Massy
BACKGROUND
NC balloons could be better than conventional balloons for final kissing balloon inflation
- Better proximal stent deployment
- Reduced balloon oversizing in SB
CONCLUSION
Treatment of bifurcation lesions trought 6F guiding catheter using NC balloons:
- Is feasible
- Associated with excellent immediate results
- And a low need of SB stent
