808-5 Findings of intravascular ultrasound during acute stent thrombosis

Findings of intravascular ultrasound during acute stent thrombosis.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential role of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in evaluating patients experiencing an episode of acute stent thrombosis. DESIGN AND SETTING Prospective observational study in a cardiac catheterisation laboratory in a university teaching hospital. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTIONS IVUS was used to examine 12 patients undergoing coronary interventions for stent thrombosi...

Heterogeneous Intravascular Ultrasound Findings of Stent Thrombosis

Objective The underlying mechanisms of stent thrombosis are not completely understood. Methods We experienced 12 definite stent thrombosis cases (1 early, 1 late, and 10 very late) at our hospital from July 2011 to April 2016 and evaluated the possible causes of stent thrombosis by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Results Five different potential morphological causes of stent thrombosis (neoath...

Predictors and outcomes of stent thrombosis: an intravascular ultrasound registry.

AIMS To investigate whether intravascular ultrasound provides additional information regarding the prediction of stent thrombosis, a retrospective multicentre registry was designed to enrol patients with stent thrombosis following stent deployment under ultrasound guidance. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 53 patients were enrolled (mean age 61+/-9 years) with stable angina (43%), unstable angi...
