Ostial Pro® Stent Positioning System Facilitates More Accurate Stent Positioning in AO Lesions
OSTIAL PRO® Stent Positioning System allows easier assessment of coronary or renal ostia, improving the accuracy of stent positioning in AO lesions: • Unique design provides three dimensional visual and tactile feedback • Excellent pushability and strong pullback capabilities • Compatible with 6, 7, and 8 French guiding catheters
OSTIAL PRO® Stent Positioning System helps avoid potential complications. Once positioned against the ostium, the OSTIAL PRO® Stent Positioning System: • Helps prevent deep seating of the guide catheter1 • May decrease risk of dissection by minimizing guide catheter tip trauma • Facilitates precise stent positioning in the ostium to help reduce the risk of distal and proximal lesion stent deployment and the need for more costly reinterventions
The OSTIAL PRO® Stent Positioning System enables more accurate stent placement, which can help reduce: • The length of procedures • Fluoroscopy and radiation exposure • Use of contrast (important for preserving renal function)
The Challenge of Stenting Aorto-Ostial Lesions • Aorto-ostial (AO) stenting accounts for an estimated 5%-7% of coronary interventions and more than 90% of renal artery interventions. • AO lesions are more likely to be associated with suboptimal angiographic results due to lesion rigidity and elastic recoil, and have higher rates of target lesion revascularization. • Conventional angiographic landmarks used during stenting of AO lesions are often ambiguous and/or misleading, making accurate stent positioning extremely difficult. • In a retrospective study of 100 patients in whom stents were placed using angiographic landmarks, correct stent positioning was achieved in only 46% of cases. • This device was associated with decreased procedure time, radiation exposure and reduced use of contrast.
Yellow marker permits positive identification and differentiation of the Ostial Pro® Stent Positioning System from other wires.
Nitinol wire 0.018 inch wire allows greater pushability and strong pullback capabilities.
15 mm leg span accommodates ostia.
Nitinol gold-plated legs allow greater opacification to help identify the plane of the ostium.
Flexible distal wire The 4 cm distal end is ground down to 0.014 inches and heat-treated to allow more flexibility to prevent straightening of the guiding catheter curve, while retaining push/pull characteristics.
Flexible cylinder Longitudinal opening allows use with 6, 7, or 8 French guiding catheters.
Cylinder/wire connection
Tapered cylinder permits easy pullback into the guide.
Overall length of 127 cm permits use with any guide that is ≤100 cm in length.
