“…To date, no randomized controlled trials have been carried out to suggest an optimal treatment. Options for management of SF patients are drug therapy, re-stenting, balloon angioplasty and, in some cases, coronary bypass grafting [ 87 ]. Omar et al .…”

“…However, stenting in mal-apposed stent struts results in a double layer of metal, leading to an increased risk of thrombogenicity, ISR and recurring SF. Case reports have been published using “plain old balloon” [ 85 ] or drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty only in a setting of STEMI achieving good short-term results [ 87 ]. A balloon only approach to prevent SF in de-novo lesions or stent failure including re-SF could be feasible.…”

Coronary stent fracture (SF) is a potential cause of stent failure increasing the risk for in-stent restenosis, stent thrombosis, target lesion revascularization and major adverse cardiac events. Overall incidence of SF ranges from <1.0% up to 18.6% and SF can be found in up to 60% of failed devices. Advanced imaging techniques have improved the detection of SF. However, defining the optimal therapeutic approach towards these complex lesions is challenging. This review summarizes the most important publications on the topic of SF and discusses current insights into pathophysiology, diagnostic tools, classification and therapeutic management. Furthermore, two illustrative cases of SF leading to myocardial infarction are presented, which demonstrate typical SF risk factors such as vessel angulation and hinge motion, stenting in the right coronary artery, use of long stents and multiple stent layers.
