We present a case of Palmaz-Schatz stent in the anterior descending coronary artery in a patient in whom restenosis occurred repeatedly after balloon angioplasty. The location of the stent was confirmed by ultrafast CT. The Palmaz-Schatz stent is barely visible by fluoroscopy and confirmation of its location by fluoroscopy is difficult after failure of stent delivery. However, ultrafast CT enabled the clear detection of a Palmaz-Schatz stent without artifacts and may be valuable in confirming its location.

Yamaoka et al. (1995) conducted a case report in Restenosis after balloon angioplasty (n=1). Ultrafast CT vs. Fluoroscopy was evaluated on Stent detection and localization. Ultrafast CT enabled the clear detection of a Palmaz-Schatz stent without artifacts, overcoming the visibility limitations of conventional fluoroscopy.
