Bifurcation optimized stent system (BIOSS, Balton, PL) One year results of FIM study + case presentation
Author: Dobrin Vassilev MD, PhD, National Heart Hospital, Sofia, Bulgaria
MAIN TREATMENT PROBLEMS
- Periprocedural complications – side branch significant stenosis occurrence and occlusion after main vessel stenting
- Increased long-term restenosis and reintervention
- Increased risk of stent thrombosis
CONCLUSION
- Simple and fast bifurcation treatment with single dedicated paclitaxel eluting bifurcation stent is feasible and highly successful (100% implantation rate)
- BiOSS stent reduces side branch compromise in comparison with historical control
- In-stent long term results are very satisfactory
