Stent Fracture after Everolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation
Cardiology Research and Practice, 2011 Compared with bare-metal stents, drug-eluting stents (DES) have greatly reduced the risk of in-stent restenosis (ISR) by inhibiting neointimal growth. Nevertheless, DES are still prone to device failure, which may lead to cardiac events.
