Abstract
A 63-year-old woman with typical chest pain referred to our center. Her risk factors were hypertension (HTN),
hyperlipidemia (HLP), diabetic mellitus (DM), and smoking. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed a tubular
lesion (95%) in proximal part, and a diffuse lesion (95%) in the mid part of left anterior descending (LAD) with
a good distal flow. Stenting of proximal and mid part lesion was done for her with 2 drug-eluting stent (paclitaxel-
eluting coronary stent system, EURoCOR) with success. After 6 days, due to a typical chest pain without
response to medications, the coronary angiography was performed showing a definite fracture of stent which
was implanted in the mid part of left anterior descending artery (LAD) 6 days before admission.
