CP Stent y Balón BIB en otras aplicaciones periféricas.

Una vez comprobada su eficacia y seguridad para tratar la CoA, se ha incrementado el uso del CP y Balón BIB en otras aplicaciones tales como:

Estenosis iliaca

68 year-old male high risk patient: his medical background includes radiation therapy and chemotherapy to treat a fibrous lymphoma of the right inguinal region. He also had a total right hip replacement due to vascular necrosis.
He was diagnosed with aneurysm of the right iliac artery; however, due to the high risk factor an endovascular approach was recommended instead of open surgery.

An angiography was performed and the right iliac aneurysm was confirmed. He was treated with a covered CP Stent 8 Zig x 70mm pre-mounted on a BIB catheter 14mm diameter x 75mm length.
The treatment was successful and the 3 months follow-up angiography (not shown) confirmed the absence of the aneurysm and normal perfusion to the extremities

 

Pequeños aneurismas y pseudo aneurismas de la aorta

 

 

 

Fijación de cuello de endo-protesis y para sellar endo-leaks

73 year-old male patient has history of implanted endoprosthesis, which has developed a leak

 

The leak was sealed by placing a CP Stent mounted on a BIB catheter at the lesion site, as shown above.

Estenosis de las ramas pulmonares

9 year-old male patient was diagnosed with pulmonary stenosis on both arteries (RPA & LPA). Angiography further revealed that, in addition, the LPA had an aneurysm.

 

To correct the stenosis on the RPA the doctor placed a bare CP Stent. On the LPA, the doctor placed a covered CP Stent in order to correct the stenosis and to seal the aneurysm

 

El CP esta disponible en versión suelta y también pre-montado. Esto le da la flexibilidad al médico, especialmente a aquellos quienes  prefieren un sistema ya premontado para mayor seguridad y rapidez.

El CP Stent con el balón BIB, les provee a los hemodinamicistas y radiólogos una excelente herramienta para tratar eficazmente y con mucha seguridad varios tipos de aneurismas y estenosis vasculares.
