Early Occlusive Restenosis Due to Self-Expandable Stent Squeeze
in the Popliteal Artery

08/01/2008

Self-expandable stent fracture may occur when the stent is implanted in peripheral arteries near or at flexion points.1 However, stent squeeze is quite rare, especially early after implantation. We report a case of a patient with an occlusive...

Lesions at coronary divisions, either bifurcation or trifurcation, represent a challenging area in interventional cardiology. Indeed, it has been shown that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in this anatomical setting using bare-metal...

Abstract: Background. Drug-eluting stent (DES) underexpansion has been reported as an independent factor for restenosis and thrombosis; therefore, adequate plaque modification prior to DES implantation is the key of calcified lesion...
