Abstract:
A patient was referred for treatment of a partially deployed Palmaz-Schatz coronary stent placed in the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. After crossing the stent with a guidewire, the stent was optimally dilated with a high-pressure balloon. Several novel methods used to achieve success are discussed, along with suggestions on how to avoid common problems.
