We report a case of a patient with recurrent symptoms of superior mesenteric ischemia 7 months after successful percutaneous angioplasty and implantation of a stent in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Stent fracture and stent displacement were observed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of SMA stent fracture with stent displacement.
