ABSTRACT

Definition The SLK-View stent is indicated for improving coronary luminal diameter while maintaining side aperture access in patients with symptomatic ischemic disease due to discrete de novo lesions in native coronary arteries involving a major side branch (length < 17 mm & side branch diameter > 2 mm) with a reference vessel diameter of 3.0 to 3.75 mm. The stent is a 316L stainless steel flexible slotted tube stent with a side aperture located between the proximal and distal section. The purpose of the aperture is to allow access to the side branch vessel after deployment. The stent is pre-mounted and is expanded with balloon inflation.
