Abstract
A case of embolization of an unexpended Wiktor stent while attempting to traverse an expanded Wiktor stent is reported. The embolized stent was subjected to longitudinal axial traction, using a balloon catheter to cause stretching and partial unraveling. This partially unraveled stent was deployed across the dissection to scaffold it. The patient h ad no postprocedure complications. (C) 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
