It was reported that stent fracture occurred.Vascular access was obtained via the right femoral artery.The 80% stenosed, 18mmx3.5mm, concentric, de novo target lesion was located in the non-tortuous and non-calcified right coronary artery.After engaging the lesion with a jr 3.5 guide catheter and placing a non-boston scientific (bsc) wire, a 20x3.50mm promus premier select drug-eluting stent was advanced to treat the lesion.However, post-deployment, the physician noticed the stent fractured at the mid to distal segment.Post-dilatation was performed with a 3.5x10 non-bsc balloon and a 3.5x18mm non-bsc stent was deployed to overlap the distal segment.The procedure was completed with another of the same device.There were no patient complications reported and the outcome was good.
