Optical Frequency Domain Imaging of Very Late Stent Thrombosis Following Bare-Metal Stent Implantation for Acute Myocardial Infarction.
International Heart Journal 2018 January 28
A 43-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. He had experienced myocardial infarction 19 months previously, and a bare-metal stent (BMS) had been implanted in the culprit distal right coronary artery at another hospital. Emergency coronary angiography showed thrombotic in-stent occlusion of the BMS. Intravascular ultrasound revealed an undersized stent compared with the size of the vessel and late stent malapposition (LSM) with abundant thrombi. The lesion was successfully recanalized via thrombectomy and plain old balloon angioplasty. Optical frequency domain imaging performed at follow-up coronary angiography confirmed the improvement of the LSM and incomplete neointimal stent coverage. This report illustrates the importance of imaging modalities in elucidating the mechanism of BMS-related very late stent thrombosis.
