TCT-454 Incidence and Clinical Impact of Stent Fracture After the Nobori Biolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation

Incidence and Clinical Impact of Stent Fracture After the Nobori Biolimus‐Eluting Stent Implantation

BACKGROUND Stent fracture (SF) after drug-eluting stent implantation has become an important concern. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence, predictors, and clinical impact of SF after biolimus-eluting stent. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 1026 patients with 1407 lesions undergoing the Nobori biolimus-eluting stent implantation and follow-up angiography within 9 months after index...

Incidence and Clinical Impact of Stent Fracture After PROMUS Element Platinum Chromium Everolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation.

OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the incidence and clinical impact of stent fracture (SF) after the PROMUS Element platinum-chromium everolimus-eluting stent (PtCr-EES). BACKGROUND SF remains an unresolved, clinically relevant issue, even in the newer-generation drug-eluting stent era. METHODS From March 2012 to August 2013, 816 patients with 1,094 lesions were treated only with PtCr-...

Stent Fracture after Everolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation

Compared with bare-metal stents, drug-eluting stents (DES) have greatly reduced the risk of in-stent restenosis (ISR) by inhibiting neointimal growth. Nevertheless, DES are still prone to device failure, which may lead to cardiac events. Recently, stent fracture (SF) has emerged as a potential mechanism of DES failure that is associated with ISR. Stent fracture is strongly related to stent type...

drug-eluting stent fracture within 6 days after stent implantation

Response to letter regarding article, "incidence and clinical impact of stent fracture after everolimus-eluting stent implantation".

BACKGROUND Stent fracture (SF) after drug-eluting stent implantation has recently become an important concern because of its potential association with in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. However, the incidence and clinical impact of SF after everolimus-eluting stent implantation remain unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 1035 patients with 1339 lesions undergoing everolimus-eluting...
