چکیده
Stent thrombosis is defined as thrombotic occlusion of a stent resulting in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, all thrombotic occlusions of stents might not result in ACS. The present case report describes silent, very late thrombotic occlusion of a drug-eluting stent that was confirmed from specimens removed by directional coronary atherectomy.

Late stent malapposition after drug-eluting stent implantation: an intravascular ultrasound analysis with long-term follow-up.
BACKGROUND Late stent malapposition (LSM) after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation has not been evaluated sufficiently in real-world practice. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated the incidence, mechanisms, predictors, and long-term prognosis of LSM after DES implantation in 557 patients (705 native lesions; sirolimus-eluting stent in 538 lesions and paclitaxel-eluting stent in 167 lesions) in...
متن کاملClassification and current treatment options of in-stent restenosis. Present status and future perspectives.
Coronary stent implantation is currently performed in > 80% of percutaneous coronary interventions. Its main late complication is the development of in-stent restenosis (ISR), occurring in 10-80% of lesions treated in daily practice. The classification by Mehran et al. is most commonly used. Current therapeutic options to treat ISR include repeat balloon angioplasty, repeat stenting, cutting ba...

BACKGROUND Patients with coronary total occlusions are at especially high risk for restenosis and new revascularizations. Sirolimus-eluting stents dramatically improved the clinical outcome of this subset of patients in randomized trials, but other drug-eluting stents, mainly the everolimus-eluting stent (currently the most frequently used stent), have not yet been evaluated in patients with co...

Late (more than six months) total occlusion after coronary stenting is a progressive phenomenon occurring in approximately 4% of patients, leading to acute myocardial infarction in less than 0.5%. The process must be related to severe and progressive intimal hyperplasia. In patients receiving coronary stenting with simultaneous brachytherapy, late total occlusion has been reported at a higher r...

A lthough coronary balloon angioplasty is an established treatment for patients with coronary artery disease, the results of balloon angioplasty of unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis have been disappointing because of the high mortality rate in both in-hospital (9.1%) and follow up periods. Current in-hospital mortality after initial coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG...
