โฆ Synopsis
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 amount of metal and stent overlapping, may reduce the incidence of thrombosis and restenosis.

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
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.

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
