title: Six-month results of small vessel stenting (2.0-2.8 mm) with the Biodivysio SV stent.
abstract: We report the 6-month follow-up results of our initial retrospective experience with the Biodivysio small vessel (SV) stent (Biocompatibles, Galway, United Kingdom) designed for 2.0-2.8 mm vessel diameters. This stent is manufactured with a smaller stainless-steel tube (1.0 mm) and is coated with phosphorylcholine. Procedural success was 95.7% and the major adverse cardiac events at 6 months were 20%. We conclude that the Biodivysio SV stent is a safe device that does not induce excessive acute thrombosis or early restenosis.
