Does the V-stent technique allow successful coronary bifurcation stenting in a porcine model?
The V-stent technique demonstrates feasibility for coronary bifurcation stenting in a preclinical porcine model.
Schampaert et al. (1996) studied Coronary bifurcation stenoses (n=5). V-stent (15 mm Palmaz-Schatz stent bent 180 degrees into a V-configuration) was evaluated on Successful deployment. A novel V-stent technique using a bent 15 mm Palmaz-Schatz stent mounted on two balloon-catheters was successfully deployed in five cases of porcine coronary bifurcation stenting.
