Further dilatation of stented segments
If the stent size results inadequate with respect to vessel diameter, stent post-dilatation technique
may be applied with a larger balloon. To do this, a balloon catheter is inserted into the stented area
(it is not needed to be compliant) and dilatation is performed according to the manufacturer’s recom-
mendations.
As a further recommendation, a “small stent” must not be post-dilated over 3.30mm, a “medium stent”
must not be post-dilated over 4.25mm and a “large stent” must not be post-dilated over 5.25mm.
Withdrawing an unexpanded stent
If the stent does not cross the lesion, it may need to be removed without expanding. If any resistance
is not detected, check that the guiding catheter is coaxially situated with respect to the stent and
carefully withdraw the stent towards the guiding catheter. If any unusual resistance is noticed during
its withdrawal, extract the whole system as a single unit by means of fluoroscopic imaging according
to the indicated instructions in part 5.3 of this leaflet.
