Abstract
The authors describe an incident of a type I single strut fracture in a right renal artery (RRA) stent resulting in approximately 90% restenosis. Fracture was observed just distal to the ostium approximately 1 year after implantation in an 83-year-old man with a history of systemic cardiovascular disease. In addition, a statistical analysis of the clinically reported cases of left renal artery (LRA) and RRA stent fracture is provided, which suggests a greater susceptibility to fracture in LRA stents as demonstrated by the greater occurrence (67%) in the left side.Entities:
