Guidant MUTI-LINK FRONTIER™ Coronary Bifurcation Stent System • 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 Stent Description
Lesion selection and preparation • Lesion type: to be avoided • calcified vessels • Tortuous vessels • very small vessels. • Preparation of lesion • Pre-dilate the lesion(s) • Keep 2 wires in place after pre-dilatation, to facilitate your exchange wire placement through the OTW lumen (buddy wire technique). Technical Issues • Materials • ≥ 7 French guiding catheter recommended • Long guide wire for side branch access (extra-support preferred) • The nominal diameter is the distal diameter of the device. The proximal diameter is 0.6 to 0.8 mm larger.
Manipulation • Do not torque the system. It is NOT designed to respond to torque • Remove the mandrel when the integrated tip is near the carina • Once mandrel is removed, do not push the system forward without a second guide wire in the OTW lumen emerging distally. • Use the middle balloon marker for good placement of the Frontier stent at the carina. • Observe the relative position of the two guide wires, as parallel wires with clear divergence at the carina indicate optimal positioning prior to deployment. • Do not pull back un-deployed Frontier system through guiding catheter. If needed, pull back entire system with the guiding catheter as a single unit. • Post-dilate with kissing balloons if result is not optimal following Frontier deployment. Technical Issues
