The use of intrastent peripheral stent in large coronary arteries: report of three cases.
We report three cases of coronary angioplasty using the IntraTherapeutics Intrastent biliary stent. We describe a technique utilizing routine coronary angioplasty equipment including 8 Fr guiding catheters and 0.014" guidewires. This technique can be easily performed in large-diameter coronary arteries.
