  • Title: Implantation of half Palmaz-Schatz stents in short aorto-ostial lesions of saphenous vein grafts.
    Author: Nordrehaug JE, Priestley K, Chronos N, Buller N, Sigwart U.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1993 Jun; 29(2):141-3. PubMed ID: 8348600.
    Abstract:
    Two cases are presented in which a half Palmaz-Schatz stent was implanted in a short lesion located in the ostium of a saphenous vein graft. Aorto-ostial stenoses are a technical challenge for balloon angioplasty and stenting. Short stents may offer several advantages as regards deployment, positioning, thrombogenicity, and restenosis.
