GE Healthcare StentViz - Manual (Page 4)

Case Study #1
This is the case of a male patient
- 83kg/170cm - presenting
a stable angina.
Coronary angiography on Innova 2100 IQ
is showing 2 lesions: a 20-25mm stenosis
on the 2nd segment of the LAD and a
stenosis at the bifurcation with the 2nd
diagonal.
A 2.5mm/33.0mm DES Cypher ® stent
(Cordis Corporation, Miami lakes, FL,
US) is placed at the bifurcation level by
inflating at 12 atm during 30s.
StentViz processing is launched on a
short sequence acquired at 15 fps low
dose setting. The enhanced StentViz
image provides a high visibility of the
stent deployment before the first kissing.
A 3.0mm/18.0mm DES Cypher stent
(Cordis) is placed proximal to the first
stent. In order to assess its position
before its deployment, StentViz is
performed. This allows to manage
optimally the stent overlap.
