Core Tip	Esophageal self expanding metal stents are widely used for the treatment of a variety of benign and malignant esophageal conditions. A rare and infrequently reported complication of this procedure is stent fracture and subsequent migration of the broken pieces. There have only been a handful of case reports describing this problem. We report a case of spontaneous fracture of a nitinol esophageal self expanding metal stent, the first reported case from the United States, and review the available literature on this unusual occurrence.
