Compatible with any conventional drug eluting stent in the main vessel, the device comes in different diameters such as 2.5mm to 3.5mm in the side branch.

"Interventional cardiologists now have access to a stent that is specifically engineered to provide the complete lesion coverage."

Tryton Medical president and chief executive officer Shawn McCarthy said: “With this first-of-its-kind approval in the US, interventional cardiologists now have access to a stent that is specifically engineered to provide the complete lesion coverage and more predictable patient outcomes needed for the challenging anatomy of coronary bifurcation lesions.”

A randomised investigational device exemption (IDE) clinical trial conducted to evaluate the stent indicated that it has decreased the need for additional bailout stenting, during a post hoc analysis.

The study also found that the stent led to statistically lower side branch percent diameter stenosis at nine month follow up and showed comparable major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and myocardial infarction (MI) rates at three years.
