摘　　要：Stent fracture represents a rare cause of stent failure especially in the era of new genera-tion coronary drug-eluting stents(DES).It is described as the interruption of stent continuity resulting in increased risk of in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis and predisposes to repeat revascu-larization.[1]Although a growing number of octo-genarians benefit today from an invasive treatment of coronary artery disease(CAD),this benefit could be lost in frail patients with multiple comorbidities.[2]Octogenarians constitute a high-risk population in whom frailty and multiple comorbidities mandate for careful treatment planning.
