It was reported that stent fracture occurred.Vascular access was obtained via the femoral artery.The completely occluded, eccentric target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and severely calcified left anterior descending artery.After crossing the lesion with a wire, pre-dilation was performed with a 2.5x12mm balloon obtaining a flow.Subsequently, a 2.75 x 32mm synergy ii drug-eluting stent was implanted where eccentric calcification was noted proximal to the implanted stent.It was then found after post dilation under fluoroscopy, that a stent fracture occurred.The procedure was completed by covering the gap with another synergy stent.No complications were reported and the patient's status was stable.
