Stent fracture (SF) has been suggested to be an unusual cause of restenosis after drug eluting-stent implantation. However, angiographically visible SF after bare metal stent (BMS) implantation is extremely rare. We present a case of a 58 year-old male patient who presented with unstable angina secondary to a SF of a BMS within two months of elective percutaneous coronary intervention for right coronary artery associated with a muscle bridge and atherosclerotic stenosis.
支架断裂（SF）被认为是药物洗脱支架植入后再狭窄的一个不常见原因。然而，裸金属支架（BMS）植入后血管造影可见的 SF 极为罕见。我们报告了一例 58 岁男性患者，因右冠状动脉相关肌桥和动脉粥样硬化狭窄行择期经皮冠状动脉介入治疗后两个月出现不稳定型心绞痛，原因为 BMS 的 SF。
