- Authors
Tizón-Marcos, Helena; De Larochellière, Robert; Larose, Eric
- Abstract
The incidence and morbidity associated with stent fracture are unknown. Recommendations and evidence-based treatment are lacking. We report a case of symptomatic fracture of a sirolimus-eluting stent advancing from the left main into the circumflex coronary artery, forming an acute angle with calcifications at the hinge point; the literature is reviewed and treatment options are discussed.
