After failure of both antlpiateiet and anticoagulant therapy, treatment was successful wlth percutaneous translumlnal angioplasty and a coronary Paimaz-Schatz stent. U

β¦ Synopsis
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 8 mo later. Q iggs wiley-UU, inc.

This randomised trial compared the Micro Stent I and the Palmaz-Schatz stent for the elective treatment of short (F8 mm long), new-onset coronary stenoses. The primary endpoints were restenosis rate and minimal luminal diameter at 6 mo angiographic follow-up. The secondary endpoints were angiographi
We describe a case of coronary stenting in which accidental detachment of the Palmaz-Schatr stent induced thrombotic occlusion of the coronary artery. This case suggests that careful consideration of the risk involving coronary occlusion is mandatory on d e ciding the therapeutic strategy of the cas
The Palmaz-Schatz stent delivery system (PS 153) and ''bare'' PS 204 stents are relatively high-profile, rigid devices that can be difficult to deliver to lesions beyond tortuous, irregular, or rigid proximal segments. Described herein is a method of mounting and shaping a Palmaz-Schatz stent on a l
The management of high-grade stenosis involving the petrosal segment of the internal carotid artery has been limited to angioplasty alone in the past. However, if angioplasty fails or has less than optimum results, then endovascular stent placement should be considered. We present the first two know
