Incidence of coronary drug-eluting stent fracture: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reported evidence of coronary stent fracture (CSF) has increased in recent years. The purpose of this study was to determine reliable estimates of the overall incidence of CSF.

Methods and results

The MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched until March 18, 2022. Pooled estimates were acquired using random effects models. Meta-regression and subgroup analysis were used to explore sources of heterogeneity, and publication bias was evaluated by visual assessment of funnel plots and Egger's test. Overall, 46 articles were included in this study. Estimates of CSF incidence were 5.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.7-7.7%] among 39,953 patients based on 36 studies, 4.8% (95% CI: 3.1-6.8%) among 39,945 lesions based on 29 studies and 4.9% (95% CI: 2.5-9.4%)
