Abstract

The reported incidence of stent fracture after sirolimuseluting stent implantation ranges from 1.9 to 16% according to different series. It has been associated with increased rate of restenosis and long-term cardiac events. We describe the case of a patient with a telescoped stent fracture associated with stent occlusion, after 6 years of telescoped sirolimus-eluting stent implantation. It was detected using multislice computed tomography and invasive angiography.
