Abstract
We describe two cases of late stent thrombosis (> 30 days postprocedure) fo llowing stenting without brachytherapy. Stent thrombosis was confirmed afte r successful treatment by catheter-based rheolytic thrombectomy. Predictors of stent thrombosis are reviewed and issues concerning the duration of com bination antiplatelet therapy after stenting are discussed. (C) 2001 Wiley- Liss, Inc.
