摘要

We report the case of a man presenting with acute myocardial infarction and a history of percutaneous coronary intervention with implantation of a drug-eluting stem, which was now fractured.
This case highlights the growing recognition of stent fracture as a potential mechanism for late stem thrombosis in the drug-eluting stent era.
Following the case report, we review the literature on the incidence, contributing factors and clinical impact of stent fracture.
