Catheter-based rheolytic thrombectomy can be a successful treatment for late stent thrombosis occurring without antecedent brachytherapy.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support rheolytic thrombectomy for select late stent thrombosis cases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
We describe two cases of late stent thrombosis (> 30 days postprocedure) following stenting without brachytherapy. Stent thrombosis was confirmed after successful treatment by catheter‐based rheolytic thrombectomy. Predictors of stent thrombosis are reviewed and issues concerning the duration of combination antiplatelet therapy after stenting are discussed. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2001;53:243–247.
