Feasible Wiktor stent placement in refractory lesions; leaves open optimal anticoagulation and durability in larger cohorts.
What are the initial clinical outcomes and safety of the Wiktor balloon-expandable coronary stent in patients with nonmanageable occlusion or recurrent restenosis?
Initial experience with the Wiktor stent demonstrated feasible implantation but highlighted the critical need for strict anticoagulation to prevent thrombotic occlusion.
Buchwald et al. (1991) studied this question.
