Early stent thrombosis is a rare complication of percutaneous intervention and is associated with significant 30-day mortality. We present a novel case of multiple recurrent early stent thrombosis consistent with spontaneous vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia. We were successfully able to manage this unusual condition through an interdisciplinary collaboration.

01:17Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
