Abstract
- A patient came to the hospital with chest pain and was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction. Coronary angioplasty was performed at the right coronary artery (RCA) and left anterior descending artery (LAD). A bare metal stent (BMS) was inserted in the RCA and a drug eluting stent (DES) was inserted in mid-LAD. The patient was discharged and was followed up as an outpatient without any symptoms. After 6 years, the patient complained of intermittent chest pain. A treadmill test was performed, and the results were positive. Follow-up coronary angiography was performed, and it showed that the DES inserted in mid-LAD had a complete stent fracture at the distal and proximal sites of the stent. Thus, we report a case of complete stent fracture at the proximal and distal sites in one drug eluting stent.
