Method and system for stent placement in ostial lesions
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for placing a stent in a first vessel, branching off of a parent conduit second vessel, said first vessel having an ostial lesion, in a patient in need of such treatment, comprising(i) passing an ostial stent delivery catheter having, at its distal end, an ostial deployment segment comprising (a) a break segment capable of reversible expansion;
- and (b) an independently expandable portion onto which a stent is mounted;
(ii) positioning the ostial deployment segment such that the break segment is located in the parent conduit second vessel;
(iii) activating the break segment such that it assumes an expanded configuration;
(iv) advancing the ostial stent delivery catheter until the activated break segment stops as it is pressed against the wall of the parent conduit second vessel, whereby the stent is positioned within the ostial lesion;
(v) deploying the stent within the lesion;
(vi) deactivating the break segment so that it is no longer in an expanded configuration; and
(vii) withdrawing the ostial stent delivery catheter from the patient.
