This document discusses tips and tricks for stenting procedures. The key points covered are: 1) Lesion preparation through predilation is important for optimal stent deployment. 2) Stent strategy should consider possible scenarios like bifurcations to plan accordingly. 3) The goal is to do what is best for the patient by weighing risks of restenosis and stent thrombosis between drug-eluting and bare-metal stents.

- 3. Learning objectives • Primary / direct stenting • Stenting in acute myocardial infarction • Stenting tips and tricks in complex cases
- 4. Primary objective : avoid adverse outcomes Baseline angiogram Post mid - LAD stent
- 5. Tips and tricks for stenting: Guide catheter size 5 Fr simple procedures ‘+’ ve - direct stenting / reduced bleeding ‘-’ ve - risk air embolus / IVUS won’t go 6 Fr simple or complex procedures may accommodate 2 balloons (selected manufacturers) 7 Fr complex procedures bifurcations, rotational atherectomy blood loss - consider hemostasis valve
- 6. Stenting tips and tricks : Guide catheter choice LCA • specialized guide catheters appropriate for artery : XB LAD vs. EBU or AL for Cx • left main length (short = less aggressive guide) RCA • take-off superior vs horizontal vs inferior • avoid side-hole catheters as pressure may falsely disguise wedging and vessel injury
- 7. PTCA vs. primary stent ? PTCA Primary Stent Anatomy Distal location + / - Tortuous vessels + / - Lesion Non-calcified + / - RD < 2.0 mm RD 2mm Distribution Patient Small jeopardy score Low risk > Small In general, stents are superior Acute complications; restenosis
- 8. PTCA technique Long balloon, low inflation pressure, long inflation time Standard balloon 2.5 x 20 mm Dilated @ 6 atmos Distal lesion
- 9. Stenting strategy Direct stenting Predilation + stenting Lesion characteristics Non-ostial Ostial Uniform Non-uniform Non-calcified Calcified Acute lesion (thrombectomy) Occluded Simple Complex (long, bifurcations)
- 10. Stenting in acute MI • Ensure wire is endoluminal • If thrombus present – aspirate; medicate • Occluded artery - establish antegrade flow by predilation • Direct stent only if lesion adequately visualized • Post-dilate, only if necessary
- 11. Direct stenting in acute MI Not appropriateAppropriate
- 12. Tips and tricks : lesion preparation PREDILATION • Final balloon : lesion diameter 0.8 – 1.0 : 1 • Consider incrementally larger balloons, 1.5 – 2 mm followed by 2.5 – 3 mm Adjunctive devices - rotational atherectomy for calcified lesions, including bifurcations OBJECTIVE • Achieve optimal lesion modification prior to stenting
- 13. Which stent to use ? BMS DES Patient characteristics No diabetes Low-risk Diabetes Major co-morbidity (surgery intended, terminal cancer, ‘palliative’ PCI – CABG intended) Low bleeding risk Lesion characteristics RD 3.5 mm *RD 2.75 – 3.5 mm Ca2+ - achieve optimal stent deployment *SIRIUS : small < 2.75 & long > 18 mm vessels SCAI – ACC guidelines 2005; 2007

- 15. Stent dimensions • Stent diameter artery : stent ratio = 1 : 1.1 do not oversize – acute complications plan possibility of post - dilation • Stent length Lesion coverage DES – 1 - 2 mm proximal & distal to stent to ensure complete plaque coverage: normal to normal IVUS to asses result
- 16. Tips and tricks : stent deployment Stent procedure • Slow inflation to nominal pressure (avoid balloon dumb-bell effect ) • Short inflation (15 - 20 sec) • Optimal inflation pressure > 14 A • Analyze angiographic result in orthogonal views
- 17. Tips and tricks: stent deployment Post-dilatation • Select semi-compliant or non-compliant balloon • Routine high-pressure (> 18 A) to ensure adequate stent expansion • Stent under-expansion (focal or generalized) ? IVUS for stent assessment, especially if DES
- 18. Tips and tricks Prevent stent malpositioning • Stent motion prior to deployment can cause geographic miss (particularly in RCA) • Partial inflation 1 – 3 A will lead to inflation of balloon at stent extremities prior to stent expansion. • Therefore, small adjustments to the stent position can be made Ormiston CCI 2000
- 19. Tips and tricks Bifurcations Provisional Stenting 1 stent is usually better than 2 Indications for 2 Stents • SB is an important artery (large distribution, RD > 2 mm, dominant vessel) + SB disease CRUSH – wire position in MB secure; quick, procedure, limiting ischemic time CULOTTE – angle < 70° T – angle > 70
- 21. Tips and tricks : can’t access side-branch ? 1. Guide cath: coaxial; correct configuration 2. Guide-wire: recross stent Wire access to side-branch (SB) stent : floppy, hydrophilic Whisper; steerable-catheter 3. Balloon access to SB – conventional balloon; if it doesn’t pass then use a low profile & short balloon ie 1.5 x 8 mm; or 1.25 mm 4. Main branch post-dilation at bifurcation 5. Anchor technique – advance MB balloon beyond bifurcation, inflate, then advance SB balloon 6. Fixed wire system – balloon on a wire
- 22. Anchor technique : successful side-branch access?

What is best for the patient Restenosis : thrombosis ratio DES vs. BMS Risk of stent thrombosis? Duration of clopidogrel?

- 29. Stenting: tips and tricks Approach to Kissing Balloon inflations • Individual balloon sizes should equal 2/3rds of proximal reference vessel diameter • Final inflation should be an appropriately sized balloon in MB (especially for “Crush” • SB balloons should be deflated before or simultaneous with MB balloon
- 30. Stenting: tips and tricks Bifurcation lesions • T stents: angle < 90º, incomplete SB cover • Crush technique: SB inflation then final kissing balloon inflation are essential • 70° - kissing balloon’s are ideal • > 70 ° - “ “ are inadequate stent expansion, therefore sequential post-dilatations followed by Kissing balloons
- 31. Stenting: tips and tricks Kissing Balloons ? • Correct stent deformations, even when not- angiographically apparent • Increase SB ostium minimum lumen area (> 5 mm2) • .. Leading to reduced SAT and reduced TLR • May facilitate reintervention
- 32. Stenting: tips and tricks Long lesions • Stent length – independent predictor of intra- procedural stent thrombosis; sub-acute thrombosis, restenosis • IVUS • Anti-thrombotic treatments : IIbIIIa inhibitor, aspirin, clopidogrel
- 33. Reference vessel diameter • Stent size: 1.1 : 1 - undersizing acute long term complications - oversizing IPST, dissections - Smaller arteries – less likely to achieve 100% stent expansion or > 5 mm2 stent area • IVUS – to assess final minimum lumen area Stenting: tips and tricks
