Placement of a single Axxess stent as new treatment strategy for Medina 1,0,0 left main stem bifurcation lesion

J Invasive Cardiol. 2014 Apr;26(4):E45-7.

Abstract

A left main stem bifurcation lesion (Medina 1,0,0) treated with a single Axxess stent through radial access is presented. Although the use of this stent in left main stenosis is off label, in selected cases it may simplify the technique, avoiding the use of additional overlapping stents and ensuring the bifurcation coverage with minimal amount of metal at the carina.
