Description
Coronary stents, initially reserved for bailout situations, are now used in more than 80% of all cases. However, their efficacy is limited by the occurrence of in-stent restenosis, ranging from 15% to 35% of cases, depending on lesion morphology [1–3]. Recently, drugeluting stents have been proven very effective in suppressing neointimal proliferation and reduced restenosis to single digit numbers [4–6]. We report two cases of treatment failure with sirolimus-eluting stents (SESs) related to stent fractures.
