It was reported that stent fracture occurred.Vascular access was obtained via femoral artery.The 80% stenosed target lesion containing a less than equal to 45 degrees bend was located in the mildly tortuous and mildly calcified left circumflex artery.After the lesion was pre-dilated with a semi-compliant balloon catheter, a 20 x 3.00 promus elite drug-eluting stent was implanted.However, during post dilatation, angiography appeared to show the stent had fractured.Another device was advanced to complete the procedure.No patient complications were reported and the patient was stable.
