Techniques for Palmaz-Schatz stent deployment in lesions with a large side branch

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1995 Apr;34(4):353-61. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1810340217.

Abstract

Palmaz-Schatz coronary stent implantation in lesions with a large side branch are reported. The first case describes how to manage plaque shifting after stent implantation. The second and third cases demonstrate a kissing balloon predilatation and stent dilatation technique of a bifurcational lesion. The final case demonstrates a stent implantation technique through the stent struts of a previously deployed stent.
