Description

Calcific coronary lesions can be so resistant to prevent symmetric stent dilatation with high risk of ISR/thrombosis. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of super high-pressure dilatation (>30-to-45Atm) using a dedicated NC-balloon (OPN, SIS-Medical-AG, Winterthur-Switzerland).
