Very Late Stent Thrombosis after Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation in a Patient without Aspirin and Clopidogrel Resistance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Very late stent thrombosis (VLST) after implantation of drug-eluting stent is rare, but very fatal complication after percutaneous coronary intervention. We report a case of VLST of a sirolimus-eluting Cypher stent (Cordis, Johnson and Johnson) presenting as acute ST elevation myocardial infarction at 26 months after deployment with continued combined dual antiplatelet medication of aspirin and clopidogrel. The patient did not show anti-platelet resistance.

Aspirin and Clopidogrel Resistance in Drug Eluting Stent Era
Platelets play a central role in the pathogenesis of atherothrombosis. Dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel plus aspirin has been shown to reduce ischemic events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stenting. Although dual antiplatelet therapy reduces the risk of cardiovascular episodes after PCIs, a substantial number of incidents continue to occur. Many ca...
متن کاملShould antiplatelet therapy be interrupted in drug eluting stent recipients throughout the periendoscopic period? A very late stent thrombosis case report and review of the literature
In-stent thrombosis after cessation of antiplatelet medications in patients with drug-eluting stents (DES) is a significant problem in medical practice, particularly in the perioperative period. We report a case of an 87-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension, coronary artery disease and chronic atrophic gastritis. Very late thrombosis of a sirolimus-eluting stent occurred 1207 day...

We report our experience of very late stent thrombosis (VLST) in a young male patient who underwent implantation of two paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) six years ago. The patient was compliant with standard dual antiplatelet therapy, but he presented with acute myocardial infarction which was associated with VLST. Intravascular ultrasound showed neointimal rupture with thrombus within the PES i...
متن کاملFrequency of and risk factors for stent thrombosis after drug-eluting stent implantation during long-term follow-up.
Despite concerns regarding the long-term safety of drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation because of late-onset stent thrombosis, the actual incidence of stent thrombosis after 1 year is unknown. We investigated the incidence, risk factors, and association of antiplatelet therapy interruption for the development of stent thrombosis after DES implantation during long-term follow-up. A total of 1,...

a w a t t a c s t v k p s ne of the most dreaded complications after percutaneous oronary arterial angioplasty is stent thrombosis. This erious untoward event usually results in acute myocardial nfarction with high mortality. Stent thrombosis often ocurs early, within 30 days of implantation, in patients who eceive bare metal coronary arterial stents. However, paients undergoing drug-eluting st...
