Full-length 15 mm Palmaz-Schatz coronary stents currently come premounted in a specially designed stent delivery system. A method is described for obtalnlng a bare half-stent from this system and mounting it onto a balloon catheter. The technique of half-stent delivery and implantation is discussed
The major limitations of the Palmaz-Schatz stent stem from the design of its stent delivery system (SDS). The SDS is bulky and has poor trackability in lesions with proximal tortuosity and/or vessel calcification. The use of bare-mounted Palmaz-Schatz stents on low profile balloons represents an alt
