The use of half-length intracoronary Johnson & Johnson stents has been described in a number of settings. Half-stents are useful for very short lesions, avoidance of bifurcations or side-branches, ostial stenosis, covering gaps between adjacent stents, and for dissection adjacent to stents caused by

The placement of a Palmaz-Schatz stent may be associated with the development of a dissection and this may increase the danger of coronary thrombosis. In this case report we describe the use of half of the Palmaz-Schatz stent to cover such a dissection. The use of the half stent, by reducing the amo
Coronary stenting with the half disarticulated Palmaz-Schatz stent is particularly suitable for ostial stenoses, diaphragm stenoses, stenoses distal to tortuous segments or coronary bends and localized dissections after balloon angioplasty. Nevertheless very few data regarding the half stent exist a
