TRYTON PIVOTAL IDE Coronary Bifurcation Extended Access Study
The Tryton Side Branch Stent System has been designed to address the procedural difficulty surrounding treatment of bifurcation lesions and to ensure patency of the side branch with similar performance capabilities (e.g., tracking, radiopacity, coverage and radial strength) that are currently available with conventional coronary stents designed for straight (non bifurcation) lesions. The Tryton Side Branch Stent is intended to treat and maintain patency in the side branch/carina by providing better ostial side branch conformability and is intended for use in conjunction with currently approved balloon-expandable drug-eluding stents for treatment of the main branch.
The use of drug-eluding stents in the treatment of bifurcation lesions suggests that DES reduces the rate of restenosis int he main branch (5-10%); however, results int he side branch are not optimal. A study of T stenting in true bifurcation lesions showed a restenosis rate int he main branch of approximately 6% using the CYPHER stent. However, the same study demonstrated that the restenosis rate remained high int he side branch (20%) despite stent implantation and when restenosis occurs, it is generally located at the ostium of the side branch. Further, in half the cases where PTCA alone was the intended strategy for the side branch, a side branch stent had to be placed to address sub-optimal procedural results. These findings are consistent with previous metal stent studies and suggest the best long-term results are obtained when a side branch stent is not placed. This study and others suggest that the outcomes are related to the way the stents sit within in the vessel; and therefore a stent designed specifically for bifurcation lesions will be needed to reduce restenosis rates and improve long-term outcomes.
