Abstract
Acute closure remains a significant complication of percutaneous angio plasty, and coronary artery stenting serves as a useful bail-out devic e. We describe two cases of sequential implantation of dissimilar tand em stents, a Gianturco-Roubin (4 x 20mm) stent and a Palmaz-Schatz (4 x 15mm) stent, for long dissection complicating percutaneous translumi nal coronary angioplasty.
