Abstract

The case of a 63-year-old man is described, who received two intracoronary Palmaz-Schatz-Stents after dissection and occlusion following PTCA of two segments of the left anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery. Because of recurrent angina caused by early restenosis in the 'unprotected' segment between the stents, surgical revascularisation was performed and the stents were removed.
