FRONTIER Registry The Guidant MULTI-LINK FRONTIER™ Coronary Stent System for the Treatment of Pts with Native De Novo or Restenotic Bifurcation Coronary Artery Lesions T. Lefèvre and W. Van der Giessen On Behalf the FRONTIER Investigators
Objective • To assess the safety, procedural success, performance and 6month clinical outcome of bifurcation stenting • To evaluate angiographic results and 6 month incidence of TSR • With the use of the Guidant MULTI-LINK FRONTIER Coronary Stent System in patients with de novo or restenotic bifurcation lesions
Study design • Prospective, non randomized • 100 patients • Up to 2 lead in patients per site • 13 sites - Europe, New Zealand • Clinical Follow-up • In-hospital, 30 days and 6 months • Angiography • Pre and Post-Procedure • 6 months
Guidant MUTI-LINK FRONTIER™ Coronary Bifurcation Stent System Specially designed dual lumen tip • Designed for preserving side branch access • Integrated-tip design allows single tip delivery, avoiding wire wrap • Stent deploys with simultaneous “kissing balloon inflation” • Wire position is maintained in both branches throughout the procedure Main Branch (RX) Side Branch (OTW)
Guidant ML FRONTIER™ Coronary Bifurcation Stent System • Sizes • Stent length – 18mm (main branch) • 7 Fr. GC Compatible
Guidant MULTI-LINK FRONTIER™ Deployment Technique Two balloons. Two wires. One very special stent. “Provisional T stenting” strategy
ML FRONTIER™ Deployment Sequence Guidant MULTI-LINK FRONTIER™ Deployment Technique Self rotation when out of phase
Primary endpoints • Incidence of MACE* at 6 monthsfollow-up * Hierarchical occurrence of Death, Q-wave and non-Q-wave MI, Target Lesion Revascularization (main branch and/or side branch) including PTCA and CABG
Secondary endpoints • Incidence of MACEat 30 days follow up • Angiographic binary restenosis rate at 6 months • Access site complications • TVF at one and six months follow up • TVR at six monthsfollow up • Acute success of stent delivery, deployment, and post dilatation
Key Inclusion Criteria • Other lesions in different epicardial vessel successfully treated prior to bifurcation procedure • Native or restenotic (no stent) vessel suitable to receive a 2.5 to 4.0 mm ML FRONTIER Stent • Target main branch vessel is a major coronary artery with estimated stenosis > 50 and < 100% • Angle of bifurcation < 75 • Main branch lesion suitable for a total stent length of < 31mm by visual estimate • Appropriate lesion morphology
Key Exclusion Criteria • Untreated lesion >50% proximal or distal to target lesion • Target lesion contains thrombus • Target lesion is aorto-ostial or left main stem location • Target lesion or proximal vessel has excessive tortuosity unsuitable for stent delivery • Heavy or severe calcification

Conclusion This new stent specifically designed for treating bifurcation lesions and preserving side branch access can be used with a high procedural success rate. • Compared to previous studies with workhorse stents, the clinical outcome as well as acute angiographic and 6-months results are very encouraging.
