Utilization of intravascular ultrasound to accurately position stents in true aorto-ostial lesions.
Percutaneous coronary intervention of aorto-ostial lesions is associated with high rates of major adverse cardiovascular events. Precise implantation of coronary stents in the ostium is important in order to prevent adverse clinical outcomes. The presented case demonstrates a simple technique to accurately position a stent during aorto-ostial percutaneous coronary intervention.
