Highly calcific in-stent restenosis as a substrate for sirolimus-eluting stent very late stent thrombosis

J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown). 2015 Jan:16 Suppl 1:S20-2. doi: 10.2459/JCM.0b013e3283652a00.

Abstract

We describe a case of very late stent thrombosis with documentation of highly calcific restenosis at optical coherence tomography without clear signs of stent malapposition, neoatherosclerosis disruption, or vascular toxicity to stent polymer. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first reports dealing with highly calcific restenosis as a potential background to very late stent thrombosis.
