Coronary Stent Infection Presented as Recurrent Stent Thrombosis

چکیده
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with metal stent placement has become a well-developed treatment modality for coronary stenotic lesions. Although infection involving implanted stents is rare, it can, however, occur with high morbidity and mortality. We describe herein a case of an inserted coronary stent that was infected and complicated with recurrent stent thrombosis, pseudoaneurysm formation and severe sepsis. Despite repeated intervention and bypass surgery, the patient died from severe sepsis.

متن کاملRecurrent Very Late Stent Thrombosis in a Systemic Lupus Erythematous Patient
Coronary artery disease is the most important cause of mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). After stenting for coronary artery disease in SLE patients similar to non-SLE patients, the risk of stent thrombosis is always present. Although there are reports of stent thrombosis in SLE patients, very late recurrent stent thrombosis is rare. We experienced a case of very late...

We describe a case of recurrent multivessel coronary stent thrombosis in the absence of the typical hallmarks of this phenomenon: (i) discontinuation or poor compliance with double antiplatelet therapy; (ii) stent malapposition and (iii) stent underexpansion. In this case, the recurrence of stent thrombosis was indeed manifestation of a more complex underlying disease, and eventually allowed th...
متن کاملDisseminated Intravascular Coagulation as a Possible Cause of Acute Coronary Stent Thrombosis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), as a cause of acute coronary stent thrombosis, has not yet been reported to our knowledge. We report a case of 64-year-old male, who presented with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Coronary angiography revealed right coronary artery (RCA) stenosis and a drug eluting stent was deployed. Fifteen hours following the intervention...
