Case description

Surgical video case: coronary artery stent fracture is a complication that can occur after the placement of a stent in a coronary artery to treat coronary artery disease. Stent fracture involves a break or disruption in the structure of the stent, which can lead to various issues such as restenosis (re-narrowing of the artery), thrombosis (blood clot formation), and in some cases, recurrent symptoms of angina or even heart attack. Stent fracture can be caused by factors such as mechanical stress, vessel movement, or inappropriate stent sizing. Although stent fracture is relatively uncommon, it is important for patients who have undergone stent placement to undergo regular follow-up evaluations to detect any potential complications early and ensure appropriate management.
