- Abstract
- Several cases of stent strut fractures (SSFs) have recently been reported following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation Although SSF is a rare complication, it has been suggested to be a cause of restenosis. To date, a number of cases of stent fracture have been associated with sirolimus-eluting stents and they occurred from 2 days to about 2 years after the initial procedure. We report here on a case of paclitaxel-eluting stent fracture at the time of stent placement in a calcified coronary lesion.
