Abstract:
We describe a case of very late stent thrombosis with documentation of highly calcific restenosis at optical coherence tomography without clear signs of stent malapposition, neoatherosclerosis disruption, or vascular toxicity to stent polymer. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first reports dealing with highly calcific restenosis as a potential background to very late stent thrombosis.
