Abstract:

Despite the widespread use of coronary stents and effective anticoagulation regimens, the treatment of ostial lesions is limited by high restenosis rates. Ostial stenosis is a technically difficult condition to treat but this novel technique shows the ability to enable the optimal coverage of the ostium with excellent stent flaring using a Flash ostial balloon (Cardinal Health Inc., Dublin, OH).
