Thrombosis of a flexible coil coronary stent: Frequency, predictors and clinical outcome

Abstract: Early thrombosis after coronary stenting was relatively common (> 10%), occurring predominantly in eccentric lesions and in patients with unstable angina pectoris. This complication is associated with significant adverse clinical outcomes and may be reduced by more intensive anticoagulation yet, in a delicate balance, can be precipitated by inadequate heparin therapy.

“…For clinically defined stent thrombosis events, the associated 6-month mortality was 20.8%. These findings are consistent with the disastrous consequences of stent thrombosis reported in early studies 1,6,19,21,23,24 and are somewhat surprising because stent thrombosis events in our study patients were much more likely to occur while patients were still hospitalized. This is consistent, however, with a report by Hasdai et al 25 that showed poor clinical outcomes despite prompt restoration of blood flow after stent thrombosis.…”

“…[23][24][25][26] However, more recent methods using intravascular ultrasound, high-pressure post-dilatation, and an anti-platelet regimen with aspirin and ticlopidine have lead to a dramatic reduction in the rate of thrombosis to 0.5-2.5% [27][28][29][30][31][32] and most events occur within 5 days of the procedure. 31,32 The predisposing factors of stent thrombosis that have been identified in previous studies 29,31 include low ejection fraction, absence of hypertension, a combination of different stents, longer stent length, residual dissections, slow flow, and final lumen diameter, but no study has identified ETT or training as a predisposing or triggering factor.…”

“…Stent thrombosis occurs in approximately 0.7-2.4% of patients undergoing coronary intervention 5,15) and may be more common in cases with emergency stent deployment. Platelet hyperaggregability promotes stent thrombosis, which is characterized by two occurrence peaks: the first is within 24 hours of stent deployment (acute stage) and the 2nd is at 2-14 days postdeployment (subacute stage).…”
