Late thrombotic occlusion of a malapposed stent 10 months after intracoronary brachytherapy

Int J Cardiovasc Intervent. 1999;2(1):55-59. doi: 10.1080/acc.2.1.55.59.

Abstract

We report a patient who received a stent following intracoronary 3-irradiation. Despite a good initial angiographic result, the stent appeared to be not fully expanded on intravascular ultrasound imaging at 6-month follow-up. Four months later, sudden thrombotic occlusion occurred shortly after aspirin cessation.
