Using in vitro model to assess stent ‐stent interaction in patients with coronary artery compression

ConclusionThe relative deformation of the coronary stent was significantly higher than deformation of the other stents. Edwards Sapien XT valve stent has greater relative radial force demonstrated by the greater relative decrease in diameter of the coronary stent at final compressive amplitude. These results support the concern that coronary stenting in the presence of coronary compression by an outflow tract stent implantation is likely to result in a significantly compromised coronary lumen.
