A stenting system includes a stent delivery catheter (2) having a catheter shaft with a step balloon (3) mounted thereon. The step balloon has a proximal portion (31) and a distal portion (32), wherein the proximal portion is inflatable to a larger expanded diameter than the distal portion. A two-part stent has a proximal part (11) that is mounted on the proximal portion of the step balloon and a distal part (12) that is mounted on the distal portion of the step balloon and a non-link zone (13) between the proximal part and the distal part of the two-part stent. The proximal part and the distal part of the two-part stent are each configured with stent struts that extend like interdigitating fingers into the non-link zone to provide improved strut coverage in the carina region of the bifurcated vessel. The non-link zone effectively eliminates any difficulties in alignment of the two parts relative to one another during placement of the two-part stent in a bifurcated vessel.

L~invention concerne un système de pose contenant un cathéter de distribution de stent (2) possédant un arbre de cathéter avec un ballon à paliers (3) monté sur celui-ci. Le ballon à paliers possède une partie proximale (31) et une partie distale (32), la partie proximale étant gonflable pour présenter un diamètre dilaté supérieur à celui de la partie distale. Un stent en deux parties possède une partie proximale (11) qui est montée sur la partie proximale du ballon à paliers, et une partie distale (12) qui est montée sur la partie distale du ballon à paliers et une zone de délimitation (13) entre la partie proximale et la partie distale du stent en deux parties. La partie proximale et la partie distale du stent en deux parties sont chacune configurées avec des montants de stent s~étendant comme des doigts d~entrelacement dans la zone de délimitation pour fournir une couverture de montants améliorée dans la région bréchet du vaisseau bifurqué. La zone de délimitation supprime de manière efficace tout problème d~alignement des deux parties l~une par rapport à l~autre pendant le placement du stent en deux parties dans un vaisseau bifurqué.
