Simultaneous Multi-Vessel Very Late Stent Thrombosis in Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: Simultaneous multi-vessel very later stent thrombosis (VLST) is a very rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We present a case of simultaneous multi-vessel VLST as the cause of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). PCI of the culprit vessel was performed at acute presentation. Resolution of in-stent thrombosis in non-culprit vessels was noted on coronary angiography 2 days later. Our case suggests that PCI for culprit lesion in acute setting may be a reasonable opti… Show more

“…When both diseases occur simultaneously, the 5-year case fatality rate is as high as 55% and increases every year. Heart failure usually causes ventricular filling and impaired ejection [ 1 ]. Most current treatments are diuretics, vasodilation, and myocardial reconstruction.…”
