Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, feasibility, optimal deployment technique and 1-year clinical outcome for the Advanced Cardiovascular Systems (ACS) MultiLink stent. Optimal stent deployment assessed by quantitative coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is associated with improved clinical outcome. Forty-nine consecutive patients with a discrete stenosis in a native coronary artery 3 to 4 mm in diameter were treated with the new, balloon-expandable ACS MultiLink stent. Stent expansion was assessed in all patients using quantitative coronary angiography and serial IVUS imaging after 8-, 12- and 16-atm inflations. Clinical follow-up was obtained at 30 days and 1 year. All 49 patients had successful placement of a MultiLink stent without death, emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery or Q wave myocardial infarction. After placement of the MultiLink stent, the minimal lumen diameter increased from 1.24 to 2.98 mm (p < 0.001), and diameter stenosis decreased from 61% to 7% (p = 0.001). Minimal lumen cross-sectional area by IVUS increased progressively after 8, 12 and 16 atm (5.6 to 6.8 to 7.4 mm2, respectively, p < 0.001). However, only 64% of stents achieved a lumen/reference area rati...Continue Reading
