Superior mesenteric artery stent fracture producing stenosis and recurrent chronic mesenteric ischemia: case report.
Endovascular modalities are being increasingly employed in the treatment of a variety of vascular diseases. With new technologies come novel complications, and one such complication unique to endovascular surgery is stent fracture. We present two cases of stent fracture following stenting of the superior mesenteric artery and discuss possible causes and treatments.
