Abstract
The placement of a Palmaz‐Schatz stent may be associated with the development of a dissection and this may increase the danger of coronary thrombosis. In this case report we describe the use of half of the Palmaz‐Schatz stent to cover such a dissection. The use of the half stent, by reducing the amount of metal and stent overlapping, may reduce the incidence of thrombosis and restenosis.Keywords
