Very Late Stent Thrombosis Due to Late Stent Malapposition

Intraoperative very late stent thrombosis in patient undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery

provided the original work is properly cited. CC One of the therapeutic strategies for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is coronary stenting. Stent implantation induces endothelial damage, which leads to neointimal hyperplasia and increases the risk of thrombosis [1]. Drug-eluting stents (DESs), in which various drug coatings have been applied to the stents, are aimed at reducing neo...

Triple, simultaneous, very late coronary stent thrombosis.

Coronary artery stent thrombosis is an uncommon but potentially catastrophic complication. The risk of very late stent thrombosis (VLST) raises important safety issues regarding the first generation of drug-eluting stents (DES). Although several complex mechanisms for VLST have been suggested and various predictors have been described, its pathophysiology is not completely understood and it is ...
