We report a patient in whom aorto-ostial stenting with a Palmaz-Schatz coronary stent was complicated by significant acute elastic recoil, despite appropriate positioning of the stent and full expansion of a high-pressure, postdilatation balloon. Superimposing a Palmaz biliary stent overcame the inw

To evaluate the clinical results of stenting using the vein-covered Palmaz-Schatz (PS) stent by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Twenty-eight patients with angina pectoris or confirmed ischemia were entered into this study. Thirteen were allocated to the veincovered PS stent group and 15 to the norm
Sealing the arterial puncture site with a vascular hemostasis device has the potential to maintain optimal anticoagulation after stent implantation. The level of heparinization during the first 3 days after successful stent implantation was retrospectively compared between 2 groups of medically trea
