Abstract
We report three cases of successful implantation of three different stents specially designed for bifurcation lesions, guided by intracoronary ultraso und. The BARD and AVE are true bifurcated stents for side-branch access and the NIR-Side Royal is a single modified NIR stent with an aperture to allo w provisional bifurcation stenting. These designs introduce a new era in pe rcutaneous management of coronary bifurcation lesions. (C) 2000 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
