  • Title: A novel paclitaxel-eluting dedicated bifurcation stent: a case report from the first human use Taxus Petal trial.
    Author: Johnson TW, Kay IP, Ormiston JA.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2009 Apr 01; 73(5):637-40. PubMed ID: 19213074.
    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.
