Why the study?
Coronary stent thrombosis is an uncommon complication of percutaneous coronary intervention that can result in myocardial infarction and death.
Highlights a rare case of acute stent thrombosis occurring within an hour of PCI in a patient with triple vessel disease.
Sub-hour stent thrombosis post-PCI warrants vigilance; extends sparse literature on timing but leaves optimal prevention open.
Coronary stent thrombosis is an uncommon complication of percutaneous coronary intervention, which can result in myocardial infarction and often death. We present a case of acute stent thrombosis in a patient with newly diagnosed triple vessel coronary artery disease occurring within less than an hour of stent placement along with a review of the literature.
