Percutaneous coronary interventions are performed with a high success rate, though failures still occur. Inability to deliver stents to the target lesion is the most common cause for failures. We present two cases using Rotaglide applied on the stents to enable delivery, showing that Rotaglide is effective in improving stent delivery.
