Strut fracture of DES: an increasing problem?
Drug-eluting stents (DES) have greatly reduced the possibility of in-stent restenosis by inhibiting neointimal growth. But recently stent fracture has emerged as a complication. Stent fracture may cause restenosis, even occlusion. Here we report a case of stent fracture after percutaneous coronary intervention with DES without restenosis.
