The complication of stent thrombosis (ST) emerged at a rate of 0.5% annually for first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES), often presenting as death or myocardial infarction. Procedural factors such as stent underexpansion and malapposition are risk factors for ST in patients. The type of lesion being treated and lesion morphology also influence healing after treatment with DES and can contribute to ST. Second-generation DES such as the XIENCE V everolimus-eluting stent differ from the first-generation stents with respect to antiproliferative agents, coating technologies, and stent frame. Improvements in stent structure have resulted in a more complete endothelialization, thereby decreasing the incidence of ST. Bioresorbable scaffolds show promise for restoring vasomotor function and minimizing rates of very late ST. Post-PCI treatment with aspirin and clopidogrel for a year is currently the standard of care for DES, but high-risk patients may benefit from more potent antiplatelet agents. The optimal duration of DAPT for DES is currently unclear and will be addressed in large-scale randomized clinical trials.

Background Stent thrombosis (ST) after drug‐eluting stent (DES) implantation remains a life‐threatening complication. Recurrent ST (RST) is not a rare phenomenon, potentially contributing to high mortality after the index ST events. However, little evidence is available about the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of definite RST after DES thrombosis. Methods and Results From REAL‐ST (Retrospective Multicenter Registry of ST After First‐ and Second‐ Generation DES Implantation), this study evaluated 595 patients with definite ST (first‐generation DES thrombosis, n=314; second‐generation DES thrombosis, n=281). During a median follow‐up of 31 months, we identified 32 patients with definite RST after first‐generation DES thrombosis (n=18) and second‐generation DES thrombosis (n=15). Cumulative incidence of RST was 4.5% and 6.0% at 1 and 5 years, respectively, which did not significantly differ between first‐generation DES thrombosis and second‐generation DES thrombosis. Independent predictors of definite RST were early ST (hazard ratio [HR], 2.38; 95% CI, 1.06–5.35 [ P =0.035]) and multivessel ST (HR, 3.47; 95% CI, 1.03–11.7 [ P =0.044]). Definite RST was associated with a 2.8‐fold increased risk of mortality (adjusted HR, 2.78; 95% CI, 1.35–5.73 [ P =0.006]). Conclusions Cumulative incidence of definite RST did not significantly differ between first‐generation DES thrombosis and second‐generation DES thrombosis. Early ST and multivessel ST were risk factors of definite RST. Definite RST significantly increased mortality after DES thrombosis, highlighting the clinical importance of preventing RST to improve outcomes of patients with ST.

Stent thrombosis is one of the gravest complications of percutaneous coronary intervention which usually manifest as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or sudden death. There are a very few case reports in the literature regarding extremely late stent thrombosis in a drug-eluting stent. Here we report a case of extremely late stent thrombosis in a first generation drug-eluting stent in a 54 year old gentleman. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report with the longest duration (10 years) after sirolimus eluting first-generation DES in Bangladesh.

Stent thrombosis is a life-threatening sequela of drug-eluting stent implantation. Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and thienopyridine is typically used to prevent this catastrophic event. In terms of stent thrombosis, the major concern is the variable response of patients to clopidogrel, and this has raised interest in new antiplatelet agents. We present the case of a 64-year-old woman whom we successfully treated with prasugrel after she had repeated episodes of stent thrombosis caused by a poor response to clopidogrel. This case highlights the potential role of new antiplatelet agents for patients who are undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation.
