✓ The authors report two cases of stent fracture and restenosis after placement of a drug-eluting device in the vertebral artery (VA) origin, and describe management of restenosis with the stent-in-stent technique. Two women, one 62 and the other 67 years of age, underwent stent placement in the VA origin to treat symptomatic and angiographically significant stenosis in this vessel. Sirolimus-eluting coronary stents (Cypher) were used in both cases. Four months after placement of the devices, the symptoms recurred. Follow-up angiography performed 5 months after insertion of the devices revealed a transverse stent fracture with separation of the fragments and severe in-stent restenosis in both cases. The restenoses were treated with reinsertion of coronary stents (Cypher and Jostent FlexMaster) by using the stent-in-stent technique. After stent reinsertion, the patients exhibited relief of symptoms. This paper is the first report of fracture in a drug-eluting stent and restenosis after stent placement in the VA origin. Restenosis caused by such a fracture can be managed successfully by performing the stent-in-stent maneuver. The physical properties of metallic devices, stent strut geometry, and anatomical peculiarities of the subclavian artery may be associated with stent fractures. Earlier follow-up angiography studies (within 6 months) are warranted.

Introduction: Safety and efficacy of novel drug-eluting coronary stents (DES) are often preclinically tested using healthy swine coronary models. These only show fibrotic neointima (NI) response, while in humans we also observe uncovered struts and minimal NI thickening. Therefore, healthy swine models only allow limited conclusions. Hypothesis: In an adult familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) swine model, NI healing after coronary DES implantation mimics the range of human NI responses to DES. Methods: Adult FH swine (n=6 French Bretoncelles-Meishan) were given a high fat diet for 12 months to develop coronary atherosclerosis. DES (n=14) were implanted under guidance of OCT at sites of confirmed atherosclerotic plaque. Swine were sacrificed at 28 days follow-up (FU). Serial OCT imaging was performed before, after and 28 days FU. Lumen area, stent area, plaque burden (PB) and NI burden were evaluated for each time point and frame and averaged per stent. PB prior to stenting was evaluated using coronary side branches as references. The percentage uncovered struts at FU was assessed on a strut-by-strut basis. Results: The NI response showed uncovered struts, minimal coverage and fibrotic NI thickening. We found an association between baseline lesion PB and FU findings (Figure). Low PB (<40%) prior to stenting resulted in a thick NI at FU, reminiscent of healthy coronary models. In contrast, high PB (>40%) resulted in thin NI coverage and more uncovered struts at FU, uniquely showing similarities to human responses. Conclusions: In this adult FH swine model, the NI response presents the whole spectrum that is seen in humans, from uncovered struts, to minimal, to fibrotic intimal thickening. Interestingly, pre-existing coronary atherosclerotic PB is negatively associated with NI thickness and strut coverage after DES implantation. This underscores the importance of advanced disease, versus healthy, animal models for safety and efficacy testing of DES.
