Stent fracture after SES may raise restenosis/TLR risk without MACE; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does stent fracture after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation increase the risk of restenosis, target lesion revascularization, and major adverse cardiac events?
Stent fracture after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation is predicted by larger systolic-diastolic angle differences and longer stent length, leading to higher restenosis and revascularization rates without increasing long-term MACE.
