The StentBoost imaging enhancement technique as guidance for optimal deployment of adjacent-sequential stents.

Implantation of two or more adjacent-sequential stents is frequently required during coronary interventions, especially when treating long lesions. We present two cases illustrating that plain fluoroscopic imaging may be misleading when used for guiding optimal deployment of adjacent-sequential stents, whereas implementation of the StentBoost™ (Philips Medical Systems) fluoroscopic technique, which greatly enhances stent visualization in such procedures, may improve the assessment of stent positioning, preventing overlap failure or excessive overlapping.
