  • Title: Stress stent fracture: is stent angioplasty really a safe therapeutic option in native aortic coarctation?
    Author: Carrozza M, Santoro G, Giovanna Russo M, Caianiello G, Calabrò R.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2006 Oct 26; 113(1):127-8. PubMed ID: 16271782.
    Abstract:
    An 11-year-old boy was successfully treated by stent implantation for native aortic coarctation. At the 1-year control a severe re-coarctation was found at Doppler analysis and subsequent angiography revealed a transverse stent fracture. A stent-in-stent implantation was performed. Several hypotheses could explain this complication. Interventional cardiologists may pay more attention in following up these patients!
