Abstract
A dedicated bifurcation stent has the potential to simplify and improve the outcomes of percutaneous coronary bifurcation intervention. We report a patient from the first human use trial of a novel paclitaxel-eluting dedicated bifurcation stent. By 6 months, there were no adverse events and the stent lumen and, in particular, the side-branch ostium were widely patent on angiography and intravascular ultrasound. This device may offer superior results without the limitations of conventional stent techniques in the treatment of coronary bifurcation disease.
