NEW XIENCE SIERRA STENT DESIGN
The new XIENCE Sierra Stent Design, with Slim Flex Technology, has a lower crossing profile1 and greater post-dilatation expansion
NEW STENT DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR COMPLEX CASES
Design innovations built to provide the flexibility, crossability, and pushability needed for even the most complex cases.
The XIENCE V®, XIENCE nano®, XIENCE PRIME®, XIENCE PRIME® LL, XIENCE Xpedition®, XIENCE Xpedition® SV and XIENCE Xpedition® LL , XIENCE Alpine®, and XIENCE SierraTM (XIENCE Family) of Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stents on the MULTI-LINK VISION® or MULTI-LINK MINI VISION® Delivery System
INDICATIONS
The XIENCE Sierra stent system is indicated for improving coronary artery luminal diameter in patients, including those with diabetes mellitus, with symptomatic heart disease due to de novo native coronary artery lesions (length â?¤ 32 mm) with reference vessel diameters of â?¥ 2.25 mm to â?¤ 4.25 mm. In addition, the XIENCE Sierra stent system is indicated for treating de novo chronic total coronary occlusions.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The XIENCE Sierra stent system is contraindicated for use in:
Patients who cannot tolerate, including allergy or hypersensitivity to, procedural anticoagulation or the post-procedural antiplatelet regimen.
Patients with hypersensitivity or contraindication to everolimus or structurally related compounds, or known hypersensitivity to stent components (cobalt, chromium, nickel, tungsten, acrylic, fluoropolymers), or with contrast sensitivity.
WARNINGS
It is not recommended to treat patients having a lesion that prevent complete inflation of an angioplasty balloon.
Judicious patient selection is necessary because the use of this device carries the associated risk of stent thrombosis, vascular complications, and/or bleeding events.
This product should not be used in patients who are not likely to comply with the recommended antiplatelet therapy.
The second-generation Xience V everolimus-eluting stent incorporates advanced design features such as a cobalt-chromium stent platform coated with an antirestenotic drug, everolimus, incorporated into a biocompatible polymer with a long history of medical use. The efficacy of the stent has been demonstrated with low rates of angiographic restenosis, whilst randomized trials comparing the Xience V everolimus-eluting stent to the first-generation Taxus paclitaxel-eluting stent have found a reduction in repeat revascularization rates. Further randomized trials, including 'all-comer' patients and registries of unselected patients are currently further evaluating the efficacy and safety of the Xience V stent in high-risk, complex cases.We also offer one of the most primary quality stents in the market, The Xience V Stent Coronary artery stents are devices (small metallic mesh tubes) that are placed over a balloon catheter and delivered to the narrowed portion of the coronary artery. The balloon is used to expand the stent. The stent presses against the narrowed vessel wall, holding the vessel open. This results in a wider artery channel to improve blood flow to the heart muscle. This may be followed by repeat balloon inflations within the stent to achieve the result desired by your doctor. Once the balloon has been deflated and withdrawn, the stent stays in place permanently, holding the coronary artery open. The inner lining of the artery grows over the surface of the stent, making the stent a permanent part of your artery
XIENCE PRIME features one of the thinnest drug eluting stent struts available while maintaining radial strength to support the vessel, and it provides excellent visibility under X-ray during stent implantation procedures. XIENCE PRIME is offered in lengths up to 38 mm to treat long lesions.
