The History of the Palmaz Schatz Stent, The Story behind the Story

The history of coronary stenting is a very colorful and fascinating story. It is a story filled with lots of successes but an equal number of failures, each of which could have ended the adventure at any time. This talk will focus not on the data but on the personal stories of the pioneers who faced daunting challenges to prove that stents were safe and effective in human coronary arteries.
