A case of chronic vertebrobasilar insufficiency due to severe stenoses at the origins of both vertebral arteries was treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and coronary Palmaz-Schatz stents. Use of stents led to a better angiographic result than angloplasty alone. The patient Is improved
Danielle Hupkens van der Elst, and Harry van der Lubbe Coronary Palmaz Schatz stent implantation is usually performed by using the sheath protected stent delivery system (SDS) via the percutaneous transfemoral route. However, downsizing of PTCA equipment made transradial coronary stenting feasible.
## Background: After stent deployment, larger balloons are frequently needed to optimize stent expansion according to angiographic and intravascular ultrasound (ivus) criteria. the objective of this trial was to assess the feasibility and safety of a single-balloon approach for predilation, stent i
