RESUMO
Os autores descrevem um caso de fratura de stent Cypher®. Inicialmente, a fratura foi acompanhada clinicamente (paciente era assintomático, sem evidência clara de isquemia à investigação não-invasiva). Entretanto, durante seguimento tardio, o paciente passou a apresentar sintomas de angina estável, necessitando de nova intervenção percutânea e, posteriormente, implante de novo stent farmacológico.
