Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2000 Aug;50(4):498-501. doi: 10.1002/1522-726x(200008)50:4<498::aid-ccd28>3.0.co;2-g.

Abstract

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.
