Acute recoil of Palmaz-Schatz stent: a rare cause of suboptimal stent implantation--report of two cases with intravascular ultrasound findings.
It is generally believed that the Palmaz-Schatz stent maintains a strong radial force, preventing stent recoil. However, the capacity to prevent recoil is largely governed by the hardness or resistance of the lesion. We report two cases of "acute Palmaz-Schatz stent recoil," documented by intravascular ultrasound, and suggest a novel treatment of this unusual problem.
