Key result
A first definite coronary stent thrombosis was associated with an unfavorable long-term prognosis, with cardiac death or definite recurrent ST occurring in 25.8% of patients over a median 27.1 months.

What are the long-term clinical outcomes and predictors of adverse events after a first angiographically confirmed coronary stent thrombosis?
Long-term clinical outcomes after a first definite stent thrombosis are unfavorable, with high mortality and recurrence rates driven by factors like diabetes, low LVEF, and complex lesions.

Warrants heightened post-thrombosis surveillance in high-risk patients; leaves open optimal prevention strategies pending prospective trials.
Werkum et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Angiographically confirmed coronary stent thrombosis (n=431). First angiographically confirmed coronary stent thrombosis was evaluated on Composite of cardiac death and definite recurrent ST. A first definite coronary stent thrombosis was associated with an unfavorable long-term prognosis, with cardiac death or definite recurrent ST occurring in 25.8% of patients over a median 27.1 months.
