International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. Case Report: A 64-year old male, a cigarette smoker, presented with rest angina. Coronary angiogram showed discrete 99% stenosis in proximal left anterior descending artery and a mid-eccentric 90% lesion in the right coronary artery (RCA). The patient was taken up for angioplasty of both the vessels. A type V fracture was detected after four years of zotarolimuseluting stent placement in the right coronary artery. Conclusion: Despite the recent advances in drug-eluting stents design, there remains a potential of stent fracture especially when a long drug-eluting stents is implanted in a tortuous vessel and is exposed to torsion forces at the hinge points.
