ABSTRACT
Drug-eluting stents (DES) have reduced the rate of repeated revascularization of target lesions. For this reason, DES are considered to be superior to bare-metal stents in reducing the restenosis rate. However, some problems have been reported after implantation of DES. One of them, stent thrombosis, has arisen as a fatal complication. Dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended for at least 12 months after implantation of DES to prevent stent thrombosis. Here, we report a case of very late stent thrombosis that occurred 1 week after discontinuation of clopidogrel at 5 years (1832 days) after implantation of a sirolimus-eluting stent.
