title: Stent fracture and restenosis after zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation.
abstract: Stent fracture (SF) has been found in peripheral and coronary vasculatures, and in the latter mostly after implantation of sirolimus- or paclitaxel-eluting stents. We report a patient with a fractured stent associated with restenosis after zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES) implantation which was confirmed by fluoroscopy, intravascular ultrasound and computerized tomography. To our knowledge, this is the first published report of SF after ZES implantation.
