C77. Kim SS, Jeong MH, Sim DS, Hong YJ, Kim JH, Ahn Y, Kang JC; Very Late Thrombosis of a Drug-Eluting Stent After Discontinuation of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in a Patient Treated With Both Drug-Eluting and Bare-Metal Stents. Korean Circ J 2009;39(5)205-208.
(Abstract)
Late stent thrombosis is one of the most serious complications associated with morbidity and mortality after coronary drug-eluting stent implantation, and is mainly caused by the withdrawal of antiplatelet agents. We report our experience of late stent thrombosis simultaneously involving three different coronary arteries in a young male patient who was treated with three drug-eluting stents two years ago. The patient stopped taking antiplatelet agents for several days. The patient did not recover from cardiogenic shock, even after repeated ballooning with thrombus aspiration, intra-aortic balloon pumping, and temporary pacing during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
