AI Article Synopsis
- Ostial lesions have high restenosis rates, making treatment challenging despite the use of coronary stents and anticoagulation therapy.
- A new technique using a Flash ostial balloon from Cardinal Health Inc. offers a promising solution for better coverage of the ostium.
- This method enables excellent stent flaring, improving treatment outcomes for patients with ostial stenosis.
Article Abstract
Despite the widespread use of coronary stents and effective anticoagulation regimens, the treatment of ostial lesions is limited by high restenosis rates. Ostial stenosis is a technically difficult condition to treat but this novel technique shows the ability to enable the optimal coverage of the ostium with excellent stent flaring using a Flash ostial balloon (Cardinal Health Inc., Dublin, OH).
