Drug-eluting stents represent a significant evolution in the therapy of coronary artery disease. Recently, restenosis and thrombosis related to drug-eluting stent fractures have been described. This work reports a case of fracture of a drug-eluting stent 18 months after implantation, associated with restenosis.

Infected coronary aneurysms are rare in clinical practice and represent a catastrophic complication following percutaneous coronary interventions. A high index of suspicion is imperative in patients presenting with fever a few weeks after percutaneous coronary intervention. Early diagnosis and surgical repair are key to mitigating the morbidity and mortality associated with it.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effectiveness of bioresorbable scaffolds (IBS) versus everolimus-eluting stents (EES) for treating below-the-knee arterial disease in dogs, focusing on their support performance and effects on tissue.
- Both types of implants were successfully used, showing similar levels of arterial narrowing within the first six months, but the IBS scaffold exhibited gradual corrosion over time.
- Overall, the findings indicate that the IBS is comparable to EES in terms of support and tissue response within 6 months, while demonstrating a manageable corrosion profile over a year.

Article Synopsis
- The rise of advanced microcatheters has improved the success rates of complex heart procedures, but their use can lead to significant complications.
- A case study highlighted a serious incident where a Turnpike Spiral catheter tip fractured, causing a blockage in the right coronary artery despite its tortuous and calcified nature.
- To resolve the blockage, a specialized technique called antegrade dissection and re-entry was used, successfully restoring blood flow and avoiding a heart attack by placing stents after navigating around the fractured tip.

Objective: Primary stenting for long femoropopliteal (FP) lesions remains controversial because of the high risk of stent fracture (SF). This study aimed to summarise current knowledge on SF from randomised control trials about FP stenting.
Methods: A systematic review of the Medline database was performed by a combined strategy of MeSH terms: femoral artery, popliteal artery, stenting, and stent fracture.

Stent fracture is one of the complications of drug-eluting stent implantation. An 84-year-old man underwent coronary angiography for unstable angina. He had diffuse severe stenosis and calcified plaque in the left anterior descending artery and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the left anterior descending artery for severe stenosis with chest pain.
