From the abstract
Precise stent positioning during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary ostial lesions is technically important but often challenging. During ostial stenting, the guiding catheter (GC) frequently requires slight disengagement from the coronary ostium, which may result in catheter instability caused by cardiac motion and respiratory fluctuation.
