  • Title: Novel side branch ostial stent.
    Author: Chen SL, Lv SZ, Kwan TW.
    Journal: J Interv Cardiol; 2009 Apr; 22(2):145-9. PubMed ID: 19379473.
    Abstract:
    Bifurcation lesions are technically challenging and plagued by a high incidence of restenosis, especially at the side branch orifice, which results in a more frequent need for revascularization during the follow-up period. This report discusses two clinical experiences with a novel side branch ostial stent, the BIGUARD stent, designed for the treatment of bifurcation lesions; procedural success with no in-hospital complications was observed in types IVb and Ia lesions.
