Popis: 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. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
