Subclavian Artery Stent Fracture
Lee, C.E1, Shaiful, A.Y2, Hanif, H3.
We report a case of a 52 year-old dentist who had stent implantation for a left subclavian artery stenosis. However, this was later complicated by a stent fracture within one week of stent placement. A chest radiograph showed two pieces of the fractured stent, which was confirmed by computed tomographic angiogram (CTA) of the affected artery. We then discuss the occurrence of stent fractures, which are not uncommon but serious complications of endovascular therapy.
