Methods and systems for ostial stenting of a bifurcation

摘要

A system for treating a bifurcation includes first and second delivery catheters, each having an expandable member. A stent having a side hole is disposed on the second delivery catheter. A portion of the first delivery catheter is disposed under a portion of the stent. The first delivery catheter is slidable relative to the second delivery catheter, and the first delivery catheter passes through the side hole. Expansion of the first expandable member expands a proximal portion of the stent in a main branch vessel, and expansion of the second expandable member expands a distal portion of the stent in a side branch vessel.
