Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Stent fracture has been recognized as one cause of stent failure and has been associated with in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis, even in 2nd-generation drug-eluting stents. Given the wide use of drug-eluting stents and paucity of contemporary data available concerning stent fracture, we reviewed clinical studies and the Food and Drug Administration's Manufacturer and User Device Experience (MAUDE) database to analyze the current trends, mechanisms, predictors, outcomes and treatment for stent fracture.
