How to Improve Stenting Results in Bifurcations? Platform and technique
Author: Nicolas Foin, MD, Imperial College London, UK
CONCLUSION
- The Biomatrix Flex stent offers a large opening when dilated through the struts, and post-dilatation capacity of the proximal segment sufficient to fit almost all coronary anatomies
- Biolimus eluting stent appears to offer an advantage over first generation SES in treating patients with bifurcational lesions
- Comparison with other second generation platforms with biostable polymers is highly desirable
