Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of placement of intracoronary stents mounted on “over the wire” balloon catheters without using long guidewires. Fifteen consecutive patients underwent GR II stent placement. Over the wire balloon catheters and short guidewires were used. The new method was successful in 14 of 15 cases. No complications were observed. This novel technique using a short (instead of long) guidewire to place intracoronary stents mounted on over the wire balloon catheters was successful, and more convenient.
