IVUS is extremely useful to confirm the diagnosis and identify the possible mechanism of the stent fracture, as well as to assess the final result after subsequent angioplasty.

The Synergy Megatron stent confers enhanced axial and radial forces, which makes it an ideal choice for ostial and calcified lesions. However, in this case, the stent fractured. We describe the management of this complication.

3D-OCT revealed extensive fracture and distortion of the struts in the distal portion of a stent, presumably caused by aggressive postdilation at the time of implantation. This was managed successfully with the insertion of a new coronary...

A patient presented with an inferior non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and a tight lesion on the distal right coronary artery. After stent implantation, a large scaffold malapposition was observed by optical coherence tomography....
