Recently reported stent fractures after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation were found several months later during the follow-up of coronary angiogram (CAG) and single fracture mostly. The study reports a case of sequential, continuous, multiple coronary stent fracture and sudden death. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
