Abstract EN
Coronary stent fracture is a known complication of coronary arterial stent placements.
Multiple long-term risks are also associated with drug eluting stents.
64-slice multidetector CT (MDCT) coronary angiography has been shown to detect poststent complications such as instent stenosis, thrombosis, stent migration and stent fractures.
We report a case of stent fracture in a patient who underwent RCA stenting with associated RCA perforation and almost complete thrombosis of the RCA and peristent fibrinoid collection.
This is a rare case of stent fracture with perforation of the RCA.
The paper highlights the role of 64-row multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in evaluation of such poststent placement complications.
