Single Center Consecutive Registry Of The New Atrium Flyer Coronary Stent System TO Kjellevand, AJ Tofte Department of Cardiology, Rikshospitalet, NO-0027 Oslo Norway 19th Annual Interventional Cardiology 2004 Snowmass Village, CO March 22-26, 2004
Purpose In the era of drug eluting stents, the need for a highly optimized, easily deployable bare metal stent still exists for economic reasons. The study was performed to evaluate the performance of the Atrium Flyer Coronary Stent System in the treatment of patients with de novo, lesions in native coronary arteries between 2.5mm and 4.0mm diameter.
Methods We reviewed the records and contacted the first 200 patients to receive the Atrium Flyer Coronary Stent at Rikshospitalet (Oslo, Norway) between October 2001 and March 2002. Demographics, lesion classification, and clinical outcomes were compiled at 6-months post-implantation through telephone contact, coincidental office visits, and chart review.

Higher revascularization costs of $10000 3 would provide reduced savings but still significant.
Conclusions The low MACE rate demonstrates excellent performance of the Flyer Coronary Stent System in a difficult patient population providing a low cost option with excellent outcomes. For the 200 patient study, between $368,000 and $435,500 could be saved by using a bare metal Flyer stent with excellent clinical results over complete DES conversion in the cath lab.
