Abstract
An occlusion in this 61-year-old male’s distal right coronary artery was initially successfully opened with balloon angioplasty and three “half” Palmaz-Schatz stents (Johnson and Johnson International Systems, Warren, NJ). Subsequent occlusion of the RCA occurred and prompted bypass grafting 2 years later. An extensive manual surgical endarterectomy removed the stents, demonstrating the technical feasibility of surgically removing failed stents in accessible coronary arteries.
