A total of 147 stents were implanted (in overlapping manner in 76% of vessels) in a single coronary artery in 59 patients (60 vessels, 97 lesions, 2.45 stents/vessel) over a period of 18 mo using high pressure stent deployment without ultrasound guidance. The indications for stenting were suboptimal

Emergent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is an effective treatment for acute myocardial infarction. However, occasionally results of angioplasty are suboptimal due to coronary dissection or elastic recoil, leading to a high chance of recurrent ischemia. Coronary stents are occa
This report describes our preliminary experience with coronary stent-supported angioplasty in long narrowings using a long stent with an innovative design. Twenty-seven consecutive patients with target lesions G20 mm in length had a stenting procedure using the Freedom Force long coronary stent (Glo
