Abstract

The present study shows that direct stent implantation without predilatation in selected lesions provides angiographic and ultrasonographic results that could be comparable to those expected with conventional stenting. These results may even safely improve if a balloon-artery ratio of 1.1 to 1.2 is used in combination with implantation pressures of 12 to 16 atm.
