Evaluation of the Svelte Medical Systems SLENDER IDS Sirolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent-On-A-Wire Integrated Delivery System for the treatment of coronary artery disease. Expert Rev Med Devices. 2017 Aug 11;: Authors: Verheye S Abstract INTRODUCTION: The SLENDER Integrated Delivery System (IDS™) is an 'all-in-one' fixed-wire coronary stenting device designed for direct stenting, precluding the need for conventional guidewires and predilatation balloons. It achieves ultra-low profiles (crossing profiles as low as 0.029" /0.737 mm), enabling the downsizing of catheters to facilitate TRI across wider subsets of patients. Areas covered: This paper aims to evaluate the SLENDER IDS for the treatment of coronary artery disease. Expert commentary: The system represents the first advance in coronary stent delivery since the introduction of rapid-exchange stent delivery systems more than 20 years ago and is a new. SLENDER IDS has demonstrated non-inferiority compared with commercial DES, excellent long-term safety and a potentially more efficient approach to PCI where patient comfort is enhanced, procedures are streamlined and resource consumption is reduced.
