A novel technique for placement of aorto-ostial coronary stent using goose-neck snare

Abstract

During aorto-ostial stenting, many times we miss the ostium, and other times the stent protrudes into the aorta. This novel technique for aorto-ostial stent placement using goose-neck snare gives a fair idea about the location and 3-dimensional anatomy of coronary ostium using a 2-dimensional fluoroscopy system and seems reliable.
