In current, absence of the large size coronary stents poses significant challenges to the operator. Both early and late outcomes after drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation are limited only by the available caliber of the DES (3.5 mm in the United States) and the mechanical limitations placed on current DES overexpansion (4.75 mm for Cypher, 4.25 mm for Taxus). This is also validated for bare metal stents (BMS) (3.5 to 5.0mm) and so, there is a significant need for a large size stent that addresses this clinical challenge. We considered that the renal "vascular' stents, which have larger size, might be use in percutaneous treatment of coronary lesions in large-size vessels.
