Abstract EN
Coronary interventions are the mainstay of treatment for stenotic coronary vascular lesions.
New stent designs are constantly being evaluated to improve stent performances and clinical outcomes.
Coronary stent fracture is uncommon; however, it is associated with potential major consequences including acute coronary syndrome and the need for repeated target vessel revascularization due to in-stent restenosis or stent thrombosis.
We report a case of a 66-year-old man with an extensive cardiac disease history, who presented with intractable angina and was found to have a fracture of a current generation, platinum chromium everolimus-eluting stent (Synergy, Boston Scientific Inc.).
