Key result
New DES implantation successfully treats acute anterior MI caused by complete LAD stent fracture.
Why the study?
Stent fracture is a rare but potentially serious complication following percutaneous coronary intervention that can result in in-stent restenosis or acute coronary syndrome.
Population
A 70-year-old woman with acute anterior wall myocardial infarction and prior LAD stents

Alerts clinicians to SF risk after repeated LAD stenting; leaves open optimal prevention and management strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
Intravascular imaging modalities like OCT are crucial for early detection and prompt management of stent fractures, a rare complication of long and overlapping stents.
Dong et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Acute anterior wall myocardial infarction due to stent fracture (n=1). Drug-eluting stent implantation was evaluated. Implantation of a new drug-eluting stent successfully treated an acute anterior wall myocardial infarction caused by a complete stent fracture in the left anterior descending artery.
