Abstract
- Although stent fracture seems infrequent, it is regarded as an important complication of coronary artery stenting. According to its type, it might be a cause of restenosis of the lesion which could result in clinically significant consequence such as angina or myocardial infarction. We report a case of a 61-year-old male patient with seven fractures in the three second generation drug eluting stents implanted in the right coronary artery which was assessed by optical coherence tomography.
