Abstract
- Stent thrombosis is a rare, but potentially catastrophic complication of stent implantation. Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and a thienopyridine (clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor) is essential to minimize the risk of stent thrombosis in patients receiving drug-eluting stents. However, there is an ongoing debate regarding antiplatelet therapy in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome and bleeding. Here, we report a case of a 59-year-old man with acute stent thrombosis immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention combined with acute coronary syndrome and gastrointestinal bleeding.
