Abstract:
Implantation of two or more adjacent-sequential stents is frequently required during coronary interventions, especially when treating long lesions. We present two cases illustrating that plain fluoroscopic imaging may be misleading when used for guiding optimal deployment of adjacent-sequential stents, whereas implementation of the StentBoost™ (Philips Medical Systems) fluoroscopic technique, which greatly enhances stent visualization in such procedures, may improve the assessment of stent positioning, preventing overlap failure or excessive overlapping.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
