Abstract
Introduction: stent thrombosis is one of the serious complications after coronary angioplasty. It can present with chest pain and electrocardiographic changes or even sudden death and is characterized by angiographic or postmortem evidence of a newly formed thrombus in a previously stented segment and can occur from intraprocedurally to years after implantation. There are several risk factors, both related to the lesion and the procedure, as well as adherence to antiplatelet therapy and personal history. The objective of this case is to present a care plan to detect and prevent stent thrombosis in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. Material and methods: an assessment is made through the model of the 14 needs of Virginia Henderson and the care plan is prepared with its respective diagnoses (NANDA), objectives (NOC) and interventions (NIC) with the indicators of results and activities. It will be evaluated using the Likert scale. Results and conclusions: the following diagnoses stand out: decreased cardiac output, ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion and deficient knowledge. Nursing intervenes in the early detection of signs and symptoms that may point us towards stent thrombosis, observing any change immediately, and in its prevention, carrying out health education after angioplasty, highlighting the importance of antithrombotic treatment and in modifying modifiable risk factors.
