<p>A single Y-shaped stent design is obtained, the constructive elements of which are preliminarily formed as a stencil on a thin metallic sheet surface. Stent (55), being located on two uninflated kissing ballons of a guiding catheter, has a minimal outward diameter size, and due to the proposed algorithmic connection of the closed loops (56, 57) by protrusions (58) of relatively rigid bands, which allow granting the stent longitudinal flexibility directly in places determined by the anatomical peculiarities of bifurcation segments. The stent secures a possibility of coating the bifurcation carina area with metal that should contribute to the more effective treatment of the lesion in that vessel part and to the generally more favorable outcome of intravascular intervention.</p> |
