摘要
Although the incidence of coronary stent fracture (SF) is relatively rare, the increasing amount of patients v undergoing percutaneous indicates more cases coronary- intervention (PCI) of SF. The incidence of sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) fracture is reported in 0.89% to 4.4% of patients at 6 to 12 months follow-up 12 anglography post-PCI. Recently, SF has been recognized as a complication that may result in thrombosis, perforation, restenosis, and migration of the stent resulting in morbidity and mortality. Here we describe a rare case presented with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), which was caused by very late stent thrombosis due to SES fracture, in order to help the physicians ensure rapid recognition and treatment of this urgent situation.
