Abstract
Stent fracture is one of the complications of drug-eluting stent implantation. An 84-year-old man underwent coronary angiography for unstable angina. He had diffuse severe stenosis and calcified plaque in the left anterior descending artery and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the left anterior descending artery for severe stenosis with chest pain. Thereafter, two subsequent stent fractures occurred, so the patient underwent another PCI to cover them. However, a stent fracture was found again one year later. The patient was asymptomatic and PCI was avoided due to the risk of further stent fracture. When a stent fracture occurs, it is important to provide appropriate treatment according to the anatomical findings of the vessel, symptoms and the presence of ischemia.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:925912. [PMID: 36082117 PMCID: PMC9445981 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.925912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Reported evidence of coronary stent fracture (CSF) has increased in recent years. The purpose of this study was to determine reliable estimates of the overall incidence of CSF. Methods and results The MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched until March 18, 2022. Pooled estimates were acquired using random effects models. Meta-regression and subgroup analysis were used to explore sources of heterogeneity, and publication bias was evaluated by visual assessment of funnel plots and Egger’s test. Overall, 46 articles were included in this study. Estimates of CSF incidence were 5.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.7–7.7%] among 39,953 patients based on 36 studies, 4.8% (95% CI: 3.1–6.8%) among 39,945 lesions based on 29 studies and 4.9% (95% CI: 2.5–9.4%) among 19,252 stents based on 8 studies. There has been an obvious increase in the incidence of CSF over the past two decades, and it seems that the duration of stent placement after stent implantation has no impact on incidence estimation. Conclusion The incidence of CSF was 5.5% among patients, 4.8% for lesions and 4.9% for stents and increased over the past 20 years. The duration of stent placement after stent implantation was found to have no impact on the incidence of CSF, but drug-eluting stent (DES) types and right coronary artery (RCA) lesions influenced the pooled incidence.

Abstract
Magnesium metal (Mg) is a promising material for stent applications due to its biocompatibility and ability to be resorbed by the body. Manufacturing of stents by laser cutting has become an industry standard. Our alternative approach uses photo-chemical etching to transfer a pattern of the stent onto a Mg sheet. In this study, we present three stages of creating and validating a stent prototype, which includes design and simulation using finite element analysis (FEA), followed by fabrication based on AZ31 alloy and, finally, in vivo testing in peripheral arteries of domestic pigs. Due to the preliminary character of this study, only six stents were implanted in two domestic farm pigs weighing 25-28 kg and they were evaluated after 28 days, with an interim follow-up on day 14. The left and right superficial femoral, the left iliac, and the right renal artery were selected for this study. The diameters of the stented artery segments were evaluated at the time of implantation, on day 14 and then, finally, on day 28, by quantitative vessel analysis (QVA) using fluoroscopic imaging. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging displayed some malposition, breaks, stacking, and protrusion into the lumen at the proximal, distal, and mid-sections of the stented arteries. The stents degraded with time, but simultaneously became embedded in the intima. After 28 days, the animals were euthanized, and explanted vessels were fixed for micro-CT imaging and histology studies. Micro-CT imaging revealed stent morphological and volumetric changes due to the in-body degradation. An in vivo corrosion rate of 0.75 mm/year was obtained by the CT evaluation. The histology suggested no-life threatening effects, although moderate injury, inflammation, and endothelialization scores were observed.

Coronary Stent Strut Fractures: Classification, Prevalence and Clinical Associations. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10081765.

Abstract
Introduction. The frequency, characteristics and clinical implications of Strut fractures (SFs) remain incompletely understood. Methods and results. A total of 185 (160 patients) newer-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) were imaged. SFs were found in 21 DES (11.4%) and were classified in four patterns: one single stacked strut (41%); two or more stacked struts (23%); deformation without gap (27%); transection (9%). In multivariable analysis, calcific and bifurcation lesions were associated with SF in DES (OR: 3.5 [1.1–11] and 4.0 [2.2–7.2], p < 0.05). Device eccentricity and asymmetry as well as optical coherence tomography (OCT) features of impaired strut healing were also associated with SF. The prevalence of fractures was similar in a set of 289 bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS). In a separate series of 20 device thromboses and 36 device restenoses, the prevalence of SF was higher (61.2% of DES and 66.7% of BRS, p < 0.001 for both), with a higher frequency of complex SF patterns (p < 0.0001). In logistic regression analysis, fractures were a correlate of device complications (p < 0.0001, OR = 24.9 [5.6–111] for DES and OR = 6.0 [1.8–20] for BRS). Discussion. The prevalence of OCT-diagnosed SF was unexpectedly high in the setting of elective controls and it increased by about three-fold in the setting of device failure. Fractures were associated with increased lesion complexity and device asymmetry/eccentricity and were more frequent in the setting of device failure such as restenosis and thrombosis.

Abstract
Drug-eluting stents (DES) were developed to overcome in-stent restenosis (ISR), which has long been considered the main complication limiting the long-term efficacy of coronary stenting. New-generation DES which composed of advanced stent design with and without specific biocompatible polymer contributes a reduction of the incidence of ISR to rate ranging from 5 to 10%. The precise reasons of DES restenosis are still controversial and not fully understood. Angiographic and coronary images at the index procedure, systemic status of patients, medications, and intracoronary imaging at ISR site are all considered to find the possible mechanisms of DES restenosis. Multiple biological, genetic, mechanical, and technical factors might intricately contribute to DES restenosis. Biological and genetic factors of ISR are not able to be sufficiently modified by the current medical approaches. Tailored treatments avoiding mechanical and technical factors of ISR are required to reduce DES restenosis. Elucidation of DES restenosis leads to further improvement in the current DES system and finds the optimal approach to treat DES restenosis. The possible mechanisms of DES restenosis are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Coronary CT angiography is now established as the first-line diagnostic imaging test to exclude coronary artery disease (CAD) in the population at low to intermediate risk. Wide variability exists in both the reporting of coronary CT angiography and the interpretation of these reports by referring physicians. The CAD Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) is sponsored by multiple societies and is a collaborative effort to provide standard classification of CAD, which is then integrated into patient clinical care. The main goals of the CAD-RADS are to decrease variability among readers; enhance communication between interpreting and referring clinicians, allowing collaborative determination of the best course of patient care; and generate consistent data for auditing, data mining, quality improvement, research, and education. There are several scenarios in which the CAD-RADS guidelines are ambiguous or do not provide definite recommendations for further management of CAD. The authors discuss the CAD-RADS categories and modifiers, highlight a variety of complex or ambiguous scenarios, and provide recommendations for managing these scenarios. Online supplemental material is available for this article. ©RSNA, 2020 See discussion on this article by Aviram and Wolak.

Abstract
Evaluating risk of fatigue fractures in cardiovascular implants via nonclinical testing is essential to provide an indication of their durability. This is generally accomplished by experimental accelerated durability testing and often complemented with computational simulations to calculate fatigue safety factors (FSFs). While many methods exist to calculate FSFs, none have been validated against experimental data. The current study presents three methods for calculating FSFs and compares them to experimental fracture outcomes under axial fatigue loading, using cobalt-chromium test specimens designed to represent cardiovascular stents. FSFs were generated by calculating mean and alternating stresses using a simple scalar method, a tensor method which determines principal values based on averages and differences of the stress tensors, and a modified tensor method which accounts for stress rotations. The results indicate that the tensor method and the modified tensor method consistently predicted fracture or survival to 107 cycles for specimens subjected to experimental axial fatigue. In contrast, for one axial deformation condition, the scalar method incorrectly predicted survival even though fractures were observed in experiments. These results demonstrate limitations of the scalar method and potential inaccuracies. A separate computational analysis of torsional fatigue was also completed to illustrate differences between the tensor method and the modified tensor method. Because of its ability to account for changes in principal directions across the fatigue cycle, the modified tensor method offers a general computational method that can be applied for improved predictions for fatigue safety regardless of loading conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stent fracture (SF) and peri-stent contrast staining (PSS) after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation are reported to be risk factors of adverse events. However, the effect of these after everolimus-eluting stent (EES) implantation on long-term outcomes remains unclear.Methods and Results:The study sample comprised 636 patients (1,081 lesions) undergoing EES implantation in 2010 and follow-up angiography within 1 year. The 5-year cumulative rates of target lesion revascularization (TLR) and major adverse cardiac events (MACE: a combination of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and TLR) were compared between patients with and without SF or PSS. SF was observed in 2.7%, and PSS in 3.0%. The cumulative rates of MACE and TLR were significantly higher in the SF group than in the non-SF group (51.7% vs. 27.5% and 48.3% vs. 13.4%, respectively), but showed no significant differences between the PSS and non-PSS groups. In a landmark analysis, the rate of TLR within 1 year was significantly higher in the SF group than in the non-SF group (44.8% vs. 7.2%), but beyond 1 year showed no significant difference (6.3% vs 6.7%). CONCLUSIONS The 5-year clinical outcomes suggested that SF after EES implantation is related to increased risk of MACE and TLR, especially within 1 year after the procedure, but PSS after EES implantation is unrelated.

Abstract
Over the course of the 3 decades, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation transformed the practice of cardiology. PCI with stenting is currently the most widely performed procedure for the treatment of symptomatic coronary disease. In large trials, drug-eluting stents (DES) have led to a significant reduction in in-stent restenosis (ISR) rates, one of the major limitations of bare-metal stents. Due to these favorable findings, DES was rapidly and widely adopted enabling more complex coronary interventions. Nevertheless, ISR remains a serious concern as late stent complications. ISR mainly results from aggressive neointimal proliferation and neoatherosclerosis. DES-ISR treatment continues to be challenging complications for interventional cardiologists.

Abstract
Current-generation coronary drug-eluting stents are associated with low rates of restenosis and target lesion revascularization. However, several mechanisms of stent failure remain clinically important. Stent fracture may occur in areas of excessive torsion or angulation. Longitudinal stent deformation is related to axial stent compression owing to extrinsic forces or secondary devices that disrupt stent architecture. Stent recoil occurs when a stent does not deploy at its optimal cross-sectional area. Tissue prolapse between stent struts may also predispose patients to adverse outcomes. Prevention, recognition, and treatment of these stent failures are necessary to optimize patient outcomes after percutaneous coronary interventions.

Abstract
In the early days of coronary angioplasty, follow-up coronary angiography was often performed to assess restenosis. Angiographic restenosis has been shown to be associated with worse clinical outcomes, though the exact causality has yet to be determined. Numerous studies have repeatedly demonstrated that routine follow-up coronary angiography increases the incidence of target lesion revascularization without a clear reduction in mortality or myocardial infarction. Despite the lack of proven benefit of angiographic follow-up, routine follow-up coronary angiography is still being performed in certain countries and facilities. There are several factors that might explain the lack of benefit of angiographic follow-up: 1) lower incidence of stent failure in the current drug-eluting stent era has attenuated the net clinical benefit of follow-up angiography. 2) Angiographic restenosis might not lead to myocardial ischemia. 3) Patients that do have functionally significant restenosis are often referred for coronary angiography due to clinical indications such as intractable angina. 4) Absence of restenosis at the time of follow-up angiography does not exclude future restenosis. The absence of proven benefit in unselected populations does not necessarily preclude the presence of benefit in selected population, and there may be a subgroup of patients who can benefit from angiographic follow-up such as those with a large myocardial ischemic territory or those at very high risk of restenosis. Until there is more clinical evidence with respect to follow-up angiography, the decision of whether or not to perform it routinely in selected high-risk population should entail an in-depth discussion with the patient.

Abstract
Recently, longitudinal coronary stent deformation has been highlighted as a possible cause of drug-eluting stent failure. Although bench tests and in vivo studies have demonstrated difference in longitudinal stent strength among the stents with different platforms, its clinical impact is still unknown. Furthermore, it is unknown if modified stent platform favorably affect the incidence of stent deformation. The aim of this study was to investigate the longitudinal deformation of the everolimus-eluting stents (EES) with different stent platforms by using frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT). Seventy-eight lesions treated with EES (Xience Prime: n = 26, Promus element: n = 29, Promus premier: n = 23) were studied. After successful stent implantation, FD-OCT was performed and stent length was measured using three-dimensional reconstruction of the images in vivo. Percent longitudinal stent shortening (%SS) was defined as the in vivo stent length divided by nominal stent length. Longitudinal stent deformation was defined as %SS > 10 %. Patients' and procedural characteristics were similar among 3 EESs. There was no difference in mean %SS between Xience Prime, Promus Element and Promus Premier (1.0 ± 5.8, 2.9 ± 6.7 and 0.8 ± 3.7 %, p = 0.322). Incidence of the longitudinal stent deformation was significantly higher in Promus Element than the other stents (0, 13.8 and 0 %, p = 0.028). Incidence of longitudinal stent deformation was different between EESs with different stent platforms. Stent material, stent design and/or stent delivery balloon may affect longitudinal stent deformation.

Abstract
Coronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) is now an established imaging technique in many catheterization laboratories worldwide. With its near-histological view of the vessel wall and lumen interface, it offers unprecedented imaging quality to improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, plaque vulnerability, and vascular biology. Not only is OCT used to accurately detect atherosclerotic plaque and optimize stent position, but it can further characterize plaque composition, quantify stent apposition, and assess stent tissue coverage. Given that its resolution of 15 μm is well above that of angiography and intravascular ultrasound, OCT has become the invasive imaging method of choice to examine the interaction between stents and the vessel wall. This review focuses on the application of OCT to examine coronary stents, the mechanisms of stent complications, and future directions of OCT-guided intervention.

Abstract
In-stent restenosis (ISR) is the narrowing of a stented coronary artery lesion. The mean time from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to ISR was 12 months with drug-eluting stents (DES) and 6 months with bare metal stents (BMS). ISR typically presents as recurrent angina. The use of DES has significantly reduced the rate of ISR compared with BMS. Predictors of ISR include patient, lesion, and procedural characteristics. Intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, and fractional flow reserve are important tools for the anatomic and hemodynamic assessment of ISR. Treatment options for ISR include percutaneous coronary intervention with DES.

Abstract
Backround Currently, the effect of vascular dynamic bending (VDB) has not been fully considered when studying cardiovascular stents’ long-term mechanical properties, as the previous studies about stent’s mechanical properties mostly focus on the effect of vascular pulsation (VP). More and more clinical reports suggested that the effect of VDB have a significant impact on stent. Methods In this paper, an explicit-implicit coupling simulation method was applied to analyze the mechanical responses of cardiovascular stents considering the effect of VDB. The effect of VP on stent mechanical properties was also studied and compared to the effect of VDB. Results The results showed that the dynamic bending deformation occurred in stents due to the effect of VDB. The effects of VDB and VP resulted in alternating stress states of the stent, while the VDB alternate stresses effective on the stent were almost three times larger than that of the VP. The stress concentration under VDB mainly occurred in bridge struts and the maximal stress was located in the middle loops of the stent. However, the stress distributed uniformly in the stents under the effect of VP. Stent fracture occurred more frequently as a result of VDB with the predicted fracture position located in the bridging struts of the stent. These results are consistent with the reported data in clinical literatures. The stress of the vessel under VDB was higher, than that caused by VP. Conclusions The results showed that the effect of VDB has a significant impact on the stent’s stress distribution, fatigue performance and overall stress on the vessel, thus it is necessary to be considered when analyzing stent’s long-term mechanical properties. Meanwhile, the results showed that the explicit-implicit coupling simulation can be applied to analyze stent mechanical properties.

Abstract
The superiority of drug-eluting stents in reducing the risk of in-stent restenosis compared to bare-metal stents is no longer challenged. Nevertheless, the drug-eluting stents may carry long-term risk of late and very late stent thrombosis. The promoting factors of this complication are usually divided into three chapters depending on the patient, the procedure and the stent. Indeed, the literature has reported several parameters related to the stent itself, such as its length, the malapposition, its diameter, but also more rarely the occurrence of stent fracture. We present the case of a patient admitted for myocardial infarction after a very late thrombosis of Cypher drug-eluting stent four years after its implantation and related to stent fracture.

Abstract
Endovascular stents are the mainstay of interventional cardiovascular medicine. Technological advances have reduced biological and clinical complications but not mechanical failure. Stent strut fracture is increasingly recognized as of paramount clinical importance. Though consensus reigns that fractures can result from material fatigue, how fracture is induced and the mechanisms underlying its clinical sequelae remain ill-defined. In this study, strut fractures were identified in the prospectively maintained Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience Database (MAUDE), covering years 2006-2011, and differentiated based on specific coronary artery implantation site and device configuration. These data, and knowledge of the extent of dynamic arterial deformations obtained from patient CT images and published data, were used to define boundary conditions for 3D finite element models incorporating multimodal, multi-cycle deformation. The structural response for a range of stent designs and configurations was predicted by computational models and included estimation of maximum principal, minimum principal and equivalent plastic strains. Fatigue assessment was performed with Goodman diagrams and safe/unsafe regions defined for different stent designs. Von Mises stress and maximum principal strain increased with multimodal, fully reversed deformation. Spatial maps of unsafe locations corresponded to the identified locations of fracture in different coronary arteries in the clinical database. These findings, for the first time, provide insight into a potential link between patient adverse events and computational modeling of stent deformation. Understanding of the mechanical forces imposed under different implantation conditions may assist in rational design and optimal placement of these devices.

Abstract
Stent platforms are prone to fracture while incidental data are demonstrating a potential unfavorable outcome. Predisposing factors usually involve long lesions and tortuous vessels requiring more than one stent. This issue is magnified when it involves a periprocedural iatrogenic left internal mammary artery (LIMA) and subclavian artery dissection. In such complex clinical scenarios, the risk of potential complications including stent fractures is thought to be higher, though there is no data to determine the prognosis or to outline the outcomes of any management option. We present a case of complete stent fracture 1 year after LIMA percutaneous coronary intervention due to LIMA and subclavian artery dissection highlighting the circumstantial evidence in the literature that guided our management decisions.

Abstract
Drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is currently the standard treatment for various types of coronary artery disease. However, previous reports indicate that stent fractures, which usually occur after a period of time from the initial DES implantation, have increased during the DES era; stent fractures can contribute to unfavorable events such as in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. In our present report, we describe two cases of zotarolimus-eluting stent fracture: one that was detected six hours after implementation, and the other case that was detected immediately after deployment. Both anatomical and technical risk factors contributed to these unusual cases of immediate stent fracture.

Abstract
AIMS Mechanical complications contribute to bare metal and first-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) failure. However, the importance of the mechanical complications of second-generation DES remains unclear. We report mechanical complications associated with everolimus-eluting stent (EES) failures. METHODS AND RESULTS We retrospectively analysed 177 consecutive EES-treated lesions in 136 patients who underwent intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) at follow-up. Mechanical complications were identified in 17 patients (five stable angina, 10 unstable angina, two non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction [NSTEMI] without angiographic thrombus). Fifteen (88.2%) were treated with repeat revascularisation. By IVUS, there were 16 focal (94.1%) and one diffuse (5.9%) in-stent restenoses. Complete stent fracture with separation was seen in only one, partial stent fracture with separation was seen in three, and in 13 there was longitudinal deformation (n=2) or stent strut fracture (n=11) with overlapping of the proximal and distal stent fragments. In 13 EES with evidence of overlapping in the setting of either fracture or deformation, there was a 35.5±12.2% smaller stent area compared to the adjacent proximal and distal stent fragments, and >50% neointimal hyperplasia in 12 (92.3%). CONCLUSIONS We found EES mechanical complications, often followed by longitudinal deformation or fracture leading to excessive neointimal hyperplasia, in-stent restenosis, and repeat revascularisation.

Abstract
In the stent era, in addition to restenosis, there are many important consequences deserving more attention. Firstly described in peripheral vascular interventions, it took several years for stent fracture to be known as an appreciable complication of coronary intervention. Especially with the introduction of drug eluting stents and the use of coronary stents in more complex cases, its prevalence has raised and new data have been published concerning its mechanism, predictors, diagnosis, clinical course and treatments. This review will discuss the available literature about stent fracture.

Abstract
Coronary stent fracture is still an unresolved issue in the field of minimally invasive cardiovascular interventions due to its high rate of incidence and uncertain clinical consequences. Recent studies, based on clinical data, proved that there are several factors which can be identified as independently responsible of coronary stent fracture. Among these, calcifications, which increase the local stiffness and heterogeneity of atherosclerotic plaques, seem to play a major role. From a mechanical point of view, stent fracture in coronary arteries is triggered by the cyclic loading of pulsatile blood pressure combined with the movement of cardiac wall. In this context, this study aims at simulating the stent expansion in a model of epicardial atherosclerotic coronary artery and correlating the effects of cyclic blood pressure and cardiac wall movement on the stent fatigue resistance. Two ideal cases of atherosclerotic plaques were modelled: the first one included a localised plaque calcification; the latter one did not include such calcification. Results of stress/strain and fatigue analyses confirmed the influence of the plaque calcification on potential fracture of the devices. In addition, the effects of cardiac wall movement were quantified as more dangerous causes of the stent fatigue fracture with respect to the internal blood pressure oscillations. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the increased risk of coronary stent fracture associated to the presence of localised plaque calcifications. This work also suggests the necessity of more realistic biomechanical models which takes into account the heterogeneity of atherosclerotic plaques in order to assess the mechanical performances of coronary stents.

Abstract
The primary aim of the present study was to assess the gray scale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) findings that might be associated with late drug-eluting stent restenosis. The study included 47 patients (54 lesions) who had undergone either baseline IVUS-guided stent implantation or IVUS-guided repeat stenting to treat in-stent restenosis and then had IVUS follow-up data for ≥1.5 years afterward without any intervening procedures. The left anterior descending artery was the culprit in 59% of cases, and 50% of the lesions were at bifurcation sites. Quantitative and qualitative IVUS analyses showed a decreased minimum lumen area at follow-up from 6.0 ± 1.8 to 3.8 ± 1.4 mm(2) (p <0.0001) that was mainly due to neointimal hyperplasia with chronic stent recoil (defined as a >15% decrease in minimum stent area) in only 2 lesions and stent fracture in only 5 lesions. Calcified neointima appeared in 12 lesions, mostly in the form of macrocalcification, and was associated with increased calcium both behind the stent and in the reference segment. In conclusion, late drug-eluting stent restenosis showed neointimal calcification in 20% of cases, and chronic stent recoil was rare.

Abstract
Drug-eluting stents (DES) have significantly improved the rate of target vessel revascularization in comparison with bare metal stents. DES fracture was not reported in multicenter randomized clinical trials, but several case reports of DES fracture have been published, mostly with sirolimus-eluting stents. DES fracture is associated with stent restenosis and thrombosis. We report a zotarolimus-eluting stent fracture in an aortocoronary saphenous vein graft (SVG) bypass. The patient presented with chest pain and a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. He underwent cardiac catheterization that showed a complete fracture of a zotarolimus-eluting stent in the ostium of a sequential SVG to the diagonal and obtuse coronary arteries. His management included coronary angioplasty and retrieval of the proximal fractured segment. We discuss the potential causes for this stent fracture and suggest caution when using a DES in an ostial location of a SVG bypass, especially in a highly mobile vessel.

Abstract
Several randomized and observational studies have reported steady increase in cumulative incidence of late and very late ST (LST/VLST) following first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES: sirolimus-(SES) and paclitaxel-(PES)) up to 5 years. Pathologic studies have identified uncovered struts as the primary substrate responsible for LST/VLST following DES, where delayed arterial healing is associated with stent struts penetrating into the necrotic core, long/overlapping stents, and bifurcation stenting especially in flow divider region. Grade V stent fracture also induces LST/VLST and restenosis. Hypersensitivity reaction is exclusive to SES as an etiology of LST/VLST, whereas malapposition secondary to excessive fibrin deposition is associated with PES. Uncovered struts can be identified in SES and PES with duration of implant beyond 12 months, particularly in stents placed for "off-label" indications. Neoatherosclerosis is another important contributing factor for VLST in DES and bare metal stents (BMS); however, DES shows rapid and more frequent development of neoatherosclerosis than BMS. Future pathologic studies should address the long-term safety of newer generation DES including zotarolimus- and everolimus-eluting stents in terms of the improvement in reendothelialization, decreased inflammation and fibrin deposition as well as a lower incidence of stent fracture-related adverse events, and reduced neoatherosclerosis, which likely contribute to the decreased risk of LST/VLST and better patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stent fracture (SF) after drug-eluting stent implantation has recently become an important concern because of its potential association with in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. However, the incidence and clinical impact of SF after everolimus-eluting stent implantation remain unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 1035 patients with 1339 lesions undergoing everolimus-eluting stent implantation and follow-up angiography 6 to 9 months after index procedure were analyzed. SF was defined as complete or partial separation of the stent, as assessed by plain fluoroscopy or intravascular ultrasound during follow-up. We assessed the rates of SF and major adverse cardiac events, defined as cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and clinically driven target lesion revascularization within 9 months. SF was observed in 39 of 1339 lesions (2.9%) and in 39 of 1035 patients (3.8%). Ostial stent location and lesions with hinge motion, tortuosity, or calcification were independent predictors of SF. The rate of myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization were significantly higher in the SF group than in the non-SF group (5.1% versus 0.4%; P=0.018 and 25.6% versus 2.0%; P<0.001, respectively). Stent thrombosis was more frequently observed in the SF group than in the non-SF group (5.1% versus 0.4%; P=0.018). Major adverse cardiac events within 9 months were significantly higher in the SF group than in the non-SF group (25.6% versus 2.3%; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS SF after everolimus-eluting stent implantation occurs in 2.9% of lesions and is associated with higher rate of major adverse cardiac events, driven by higher target lesion revascularization and stent thrombosis.

Abstract
Coronary stenting became a mainstay in coronary revascularization therapy. Despite tremendous advances in therapy, in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a key problem after coronary stenting. Coronary CT angiography evolved as a valuable tool in the diagnostic workup of patients after coronary revascularization therapy. It has a negative predictive value in the range of 98% for ruling out significant ISR. As CT imaging of coronary stents depends on patient and stent characteristics, patient selection is crucial for success. Ideal candidates have stents with a diameter of 3 mm and more. Nevertheless, even with most recent CT scanners, about 8% of stents are not accessible mostly due to blooming or motion artifacts. While the diagnosis of ISR is currently based on the visual assessment of the stent lumen, functional information on the hemodynamic significance of in-stent stenosis became available with the most recent generation of dual source CT scanners. This paper provides a comprehensive overview on previous developments, current techniques, and clinical evidence for cardiac CT in patients with coronary artery stents.
