Abstract:
We present a novel technique for stent delivery across tortuous lesions. Gentle forward pressure was applied on the stent balloon while the balloon was inflated to 2-3 atm. This resulted in the balloon and stent crossing the impeding segment and settling in the target site where it was deployed with excellent angiographic outcome.
