title: Simultaneous implantation of two Palmaz-Schatz stents mounted on a long angioplasty balloon.
abstract: Three cases are presented in which two Palmaz-Schatz stents were implanted simultaneously in a native coronary artery or saphenous vein graft.  The two stents were mounted in tandem on a long angioplasty balloon.  This technique has advantages in ease of delivery and positioning, with prevention of stent overlap, and when deployment of multiple stents is clinically appropriate.
