Primary success and angiographic follow-up of NIR coronary stenting in complex lesions

Coronary artery stenting is known to improve immediate and long-term angiographic result after coronary angioplasty. We report our experience with a new type of stent, the Nir stent, in the treatment of complex lesions.
