Successful Management of a Rare Case of Stent Fracture and Subsequent Migration of the Fractured Stent Segment Into the Ascending Aorta in In-Stent Restenotic Lesions of a Saphenous Vein Graft

چکیده
Stent fracture is a complication following implantation of drug eluting stents and is recognized as one of the risk factors for in-stent restenosis. We present the first case of successfully managing a stent fracture and subsequent migration of the fractured stent into the ascending aorta that occurred during repeat revascularization for in-stent restenosis of an ostium of saphenous vein graft after implantation of a zotarolimus-eluting stent. Although the fractured stent segment had migrated into the ascending aorta with a pulled balloon catheter, it was successfully repositioned in the saphenous vein graft using an inflated balloon catheter. Then, the fractured stent segment was successfully connected to the residual segment of the zotarolimus-eluting stent by covering it with an additional sirolimuseluting stent.

Background: There have been reports on stent-related vascular erosions about patients with benign or malignant stenosis of the esophagus who received endoscopic stent insertion for palliative intention for oral intake. Case presentation: A 61-year-old woman with esophageal cancer located in the middle part of esophagus was treated with esophagectomy. Two years following the surgery, malignan...
متن کاملPercutaneous coronary angioplasty of a bifurcation lesion in the Y saphenous vein graft
Background: The use of Y-shaped aorto-coronary saphenous vein grafts is most commonly driven by efforts to replace the poor quality (length) of the vein grafts or to minimise manipulation of the atheromatous ascending aorta (Jarvis [1]). We found only a few case reports describing PCI of bifurcation lesions in vein grafts in the available scientific literature (Karalis [2], Prosser and Bailey [...

An 83-year-old man, with a history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery 19 years before presentation and subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention to saphenous vein graft with placement of a paclitaxel drug-eluting stent 16 years later, presented with a 2-week history of fevers, productive cough, and pleuritic chest pain. He was found to have leukocytosis and chest x-ray evidence of pneu...
