Vasc Endovascular Surg. 2011 Oct;45(7):654-9. doi: 10.1177/1538574411414307.

Abstract

We report 2 cases of patients with recurrent symptoms of mesenteric ischemic disease after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting due to superior mesenteric artery stent fracture. Both patients were treated by redo PTA and stenting successfully. Stent fractures, their complications, and management are discussed.
