Summary
Coronary revascularization using percutaneous techniques is evolving rapidly as new techniques develop. Despite these recent innovations, acute vessel closure following the procedure, and then restenosis, continue to limit its effectiveness.
The Gianturco-Roubin stent was developed in an attempt to improve the intraluminal results of angioplasty and thereby prevent or control acute vessel closure. Further, by providing an optimal luminal result, the incidence of restenosis my be reduced.
In this chapter, we will briefly describe the early development of this device and then provide detailed technical instruction on the effective deployment of the stent into the coronary artery, based on our experience with over 250 patients. Finally, we will provide some preliminary results from the Cook multicenter database in addition to details of acute success and early follow-up from the experience at the University of Alabama Hospital.
