A journal article was submitted for review titled "coronary stent fracture causing myocardial infarction: case report and review of literature".In this review, two cases of stent fractures (sf) are described, followed by an analysis of current literature on the pathomechanism, diagnostic tools, classification and therapeutic management of coronary stent fractures.Patient 2 had undergone a coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery with use of the left internal mammary artery (lima) more than 20 years prior to the index admission.With progression of the coronary artery disease, 3 non-medtronic (mdt) everolimus-eluting stents (ees) had been implanted via the native left main artery (lm) in the left anterior descending artery (lad) segments 5, 6 and 7.One of the respective ees (3.0 × 16 mm) had been deployed at a high-grade de-novo stenosis of the inserting region of the lima-ad-lad-bypass in segment 7.After a good short-term result, 6 months later an increase of exercise induced dyspnea had occurred.Coronary angiogram (cag) had again been performed showing in stent restenosis (isr) of the lima-ad-lad inserting region and a non-mdt paclitaxel-coated-balloon had been applied, accessing via the lm.Eighteen months later, the patient had again presented with unstable angina pectoris.Cag had shown recurrent isr in segment 7 and a non-mdt 2.5 × 20 mm ees had been implanted, again using the lm as access.One month later, the patient had been re-admitted due to angina pectoris.Cag had shown a gap within the previously implanted drug e luting stent (des) in the insertion region of the lima-ad-lad-bypass, suggesting type iv sf.Repeat percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) and deployment of two 2.5 × 18 mm resolute integrity zotarolimus eluting stent (zes) was performed via the lm to stabilize the fracture.At the latest admission, only weeks later, the patient presented with non-st-elevation myocardial infarction (nstemi).The patient was transferred to cag and re-sf of the medial lad (type iv) with distal timi-0-flow and prominent hinge motion was found.Catheterization of the fracture using a a non-mdt guidewire through the lm was unsuccessful.Further attempts of pci were not carried out.The patient was commenced with dual antiplatelet therapy.
