Coronary artery stent fracture (SF) occurs in drug‑eluting stent (DES) era but recurrent and multiple DES fracture was rare. We report a case of recurrent and multiple‑site SF and review the literature regarding the prevalence, possible mechanism, and management of recurrent SF. If recurrent SF occurs, the deployment of an alternative DES, except sirolimus‑eluting stent, is the option of successful management.
