Treatment of Coronary ARtery bIfurcation Narrowing by AXxess Stent Implantation
In Brief
An observational study evaluating AXXESS stent for Coronary Artery Disease. Completed, enrolled 326 participants.
Detailed Summary
The Axxess™ Biolimus A9™ Eluting Coronary Bifurcation Stent System (AXXESS System; Biosensors, International, Morges, Switzerland) is a dedicated bifurcation stent, designed to cover the lesion at the level of the carina. Although deemed ideal for lesions involving only the proximal MV (1,0,0 according to Medina classification ref), this device may be used also in more complex bifurcation lesions when additional DES are required in the distal MV and/or in the SB. In the present registry the investigators report the performance and the efficacy of the self-expanding biolimus-eluting AxxessTM stent for the treatment of bifurcation lesions in a real-world population.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Axxess stent is a conically-shaped, self-expanding nitinol stent, with a 0.006-inch strut thickness, specifically designed to preserve and to match the anatomy of the bifurcation at the carina level. The stent is coated with Biolimus A9™, a highly lipophilic, semi-synthetic sirolimus analogue, immersed in the biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) applied primarily to the abluminal surface. PLA completely dissolves after 6 to 9 months.The stent has 3 radiopaque markers at the distal end and one at the proximal end to aid in the visibility and placement. The AxxessTM stent is 7 Fr guiding catheter or Sheathless Guiding Catheter compatible. During the study period, the AxxessTM stent was available in 3 different diameters (3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 mm) and lengths (9, 10 and 14 mm)
