Key result
Two cases of very late stent thrombosis after drug-eluting stent implantation demonstrated huge positive vessel remodeling leading to late-acquired incomplete stent apposition and myocardial infarction.

What is the mechanism of very late stent thrombosis after drug-eluting stent implantation?
Very late stent thrombosis after DES implantation may be driven by massive positive vessel remodeling leading to late-acquired incomplete stent apposition.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May link positive remodeling to very late DES thrombosis via malapposition; case reports leave open prospective validation.
Feres et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Stent thrombosis after drug-eluting stent placement (n=2). Drug-eluting stents (Cypher and Taxus) was evaluated. Two cases of very late stent thrombosis after drug-eluting stent implantation demonstrated huge positive vessel remodeling leading to late-acquired incomplete stent apposition and myocardial infarction.
