Retrieval of a Partially Degloved Stent Strut During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention / 전남의대학술지

Although stent entrapment is a rare event during percutaneous coronary intervention, stent entrapment can cause stent breakage or loss, which results in fatal complications such as stent embolism or acute myocardial infarction. We report one case of stent entrapment that was successfully treated by a snare via a contralateral transfemoral approach.

A Case of a Zotarolimus-Eluting Stent Fracture in the Left Anterior Descending Artery in a Patient Undergoing Hemodialysis / 전남의대학술지

Although stent fracture after implantation of a drug-eluting stent (DES) is a rare complication, it has been suggested to be a cause of restenosis. To date, most DES fractures have been associated with sirolimus-eluting stents. We describe here a case of a zotarolimus-eluting stent fracture after 8 months of stent placement in a calcified left anterior descending artery lesion in a patient undergoing hemodialysis.
