Neoatherosclerosis and plaque rupture as triggers for very late stent thrombosis in a bare-metal stent
Medical Research Journal 2017;2(1):34-35.
Abstract
Very late stent thrombosis has been increasingly described in the drug eluting stent era. A 56-year-old male presented with anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction, he received a bare-metal stent in the left anterior descending artery in 2010. We obtained an optical coherence tomography scan, showing ruptured neoatherosclerotic plaque with thrombus.
