June 29th, 2008 | by admin |Very Late Stent Thrombosis after Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation in a Patient without Aspirin and Clopidogrel Resistance.
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(TM) 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.
