The Frontier stent registry: safety and feasibility of a novel dedicated stent for the treatment of bifurcation coronary artery lesions.

Objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety and performance of the Multi-Link Frontier coronary bifurcation stent system (Guidant Corp., Santa Clara, California), a novel dedicated device designed for permanent side branch (SB) access, stent delivery by simultaneous kissing balloon inflation, and optimal main branch (MB) and SB ostium scaffolding.

Background: The treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions remains challenging, and various approaches using stents have been proposed.
