bailout stenting
Emergency stent deployment to manage acute procedural complications such as dissection or abrupt vessel closure.
Full Definition
Bailout stenting refers to the unplanned deployment of a stent to manage acute complications during interventional procedures, typically involving flow-limiting dissection, abrupt vessel closure, or threatened closure. This emergency intervention aims to restore vessel patency and prevent myocardial ischemia or infarction. Bailout stenting often occurs when initial balloon angioplasty results in unsatisfactory outcomes or complications that threaten the success of the procedure.
Usage
Usage note: Implies unplanned intervention due to complications, not elective strategy.
