Side-branches often complicate stenting of coronary lesions. We investigated a new stent, characterized by four wider cells in its center, which can be expanded up to 3.5 mm and which are meant to be placed over the ostium of a major side-branch. Forty-seven consecutive patients with lesions involvi
Coronary artery steal syndromes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CAB) may occur as a result of the presence of large side-branches arising from the internal mammary artery (IMA). We report the first successful deployment of a new detachable vascular embolization coil device to occlude the
