Abstract

Stent thrombosis is an infrequent but severe complication after coronary stent implantation. Dual antiplatelet therapy has markedly reduced the occurrence of this potentially catastrophic event. The optimal duration of clopidogrel therapy in patients with drug-eluting stents is unknown. We describe a case of stent thrombosis 9 days after discontinuation of clopidogrel therapy, more than 3 years after placement of drug-eluting stents.
