German term (edited): Diagonallastes

The 2.25 x 8 mm sirolimus-eluting stent was deployed (12 atm) with its proximal portion partially placed through the LAD (Figure 2B). Importantly, the LAD-diagonal stent was implanted while the undeployed 3 x 33 mm sirolimus-eluting-stent was already positioned in the LAD in the site of its future implantation (covering the origin of the diagonal branch) (Fig. 2B).

The angiogram revealed good pat-ency of the previously implanted stent and two sten-oses of borderline significance: a long lesion in theproximal part of a large intermediate branch andanother lesion in the mid-left anterior descending(LAD) artery, just after the origin of an important first diagonal branch.
