Objective:

To report a case of acute anterior wall myocardial infarction due to stent fracture in the left anterior descending artery.

Key Findings:

  • Early detection using intravascular imaging like OCT is crucial for management.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
  • Variability in diagnostic criteria may affect the reported incidence of stent fractures.
Conclusion:
