Late thrombotic occlusion of a malapposed stent 10 months after intracoronary brachytherapy

We report a patient who received a stent following intracoronary 3-irradiation. Despite a good initial angiographic result, the stent appeared to be not fully expanded on intravascular ultrasound imaging at 6-month follow-up. Four months later, sudden thrombotic occlusion occurred shortly after aspirin cessation.
