Abstract
The Palmaz-Schatz stent is a balloon expandable stent. Although easy to deploy, problems can occur. One problem is balloon rupture resulting in a partially expanded stent, which can be difficult to expand fully. This report illustrates how a Probing catheter and balloon can solve this potentially serious problem.Keywords
