The MULTI-LINK RX VISIONCoronary Stent System Helmut Schühlen, M.D., FESC, FACC Deutsches Herzzentrum München, Germany on behalf of the MULTI-LINK VISION Registry Investigators
Wish List for a New Stent • design a stent system that… • is even more deliverable than current stent technology • incorporates thin struts and less metal with no compromise to radial strength and scaffolding • maintains the acceptable radiopacity of current stents with less metal.
The MULTI-LINK VISIONCoronary Stent • flexible stent design • based on the original MULTI-LINK® Stent • low profiles – IDE • 3.0mm = 0.99 mm (0.039”) • 4.0mm = 1.04 mm (0.041”) • cobald chromium alloy
The MULTI-LINK VISIONCoronary Stent minimized unsupported surface area ML Vision™ 2.5-3.0 mm 6 crests / circumference 3-3-3 pattern 3.8 mm2 U.S.A. at 3.0 mm ML Vision™ 3.5-4.0 mm 9 crests / circumference 3-3-3 pattern 3.8 mm2 U.S.A. at 3.5 mm
The MULTI-LINK VISIONCoronary Stent new electro-polishingprocess
Why Cobalt Chromium? • history of use in humans • over 30 years as a cage for Björk-Shiley heart valves • orthopedics: fixation cable in trochanteric osteotomy (Zimmer) • stronger material than stainless steel • ultimate tensile strength:Co-Cr 161 ksi, 316L 94 ksi • helps maintain radiopacity of current 316 L stents with significantly thinner stent struts
Alloy Comparison both CoCr and 316L have a chromium oxide layer

David Cox‘ Summary • The multicellular design, reduced strut thickness (80µm) and novel CoCr alloy provide enhanced deliver-ability, scaffolding and visibility while maintaining a similar restenosis profile in comparison with the 1st generation thin strut (50µm) SS 316L Multi-Link stent • excellent procedural outcomes: device success 100%, procedure success 98.9%, stent marginal dissection 0.8% • excellent early and late clinical outcomes: TVF of 1.9% (30 days) and 6.7% (180 days) • favorable late (180 day) angiographic results: binary restenosis of 16.7%late loss 0.83 mm; loss index 0.42
