Drug-Eluting Stent Fracture within 6 Days after Stent Implantation

چکیده
A 63-year-old woman with typical chest pain referred to our center. Her risk factors were hypertension (HTN), hyperlipidemia (HLP), diabetic mellitus (DM), and smoking. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed a tubular lesion (95%) in proximal part, and a diffuse lesion (95%) in the mid part of left anterior descending (LAD) with a good distal flow. Stenting of proximal and mid part lesion was done for her with 2 drug-eluting stent (paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent system, EURoCOR) with success. After 6 days, due to a typical chest pain without response to medications, the coronary angiography was performed showing a definite fracture of stent which was implanted in the mid part of left anterior descending artery (LAD) 6 days before admission.

Multiple Stent Fractures After Everolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation Causing Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report.
Stent fracture is an uncommon complication of drug-eluting stent implantation, but it has a clinical significance because of its potential association with adverse cardiac events such as in-stent restenosis, target lesion revascularization, and stent thrombosis. Multiple stent fractures account for a small proportion, but they may lead to more serious complications. Newer generation drug-elutin...

Background—Guidelines recommend that noncardiac surgery be delayed until 30 to 45 days after bare-metal stent implantation and 1 year after drug-eluting stent implantation. Methods and Results—We used linked registry data and population-based administrative health care databases to conduct a cohort study of 8116 patients (Ն40 years of age) who underwent major elective noncardiac surgery in Onta...

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...

We thank Dr Paul D. Williams, Dr Mama A. Mamas, and Dr Douglas G. Fraser for their interest in our article. First, we investigated the stent fracture after Xience V (Abbott Vascular) and Promus (Boston Scientific). As they note, our results, therefore, do not apply to all everolimus-eluting stents. Second, they suggest that double stent strut layer shown in Figure 4 is the consequence of stent ...
