Abstract
A patient was treated by PTA for a tight excentric stenosis in the ext ernal iliac artery, Following angioplasty, appropriate placement of a Palmaz stent over the lesion was impossible because of arterial curves and irregular aspect of the residual stenosis, To overcome this probl em, the stent was grasped and pulled over the lesion using a snare loo p device by contralateral approach.
