Coronary artery stent infection (CSI), a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is challenging to diagnose. This case highlights successful surgical treatment for drug-eluting stent infection after myocardial infarction.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Infectious Diseases
- Interventional Cardiology
Background:
- Coronary artery stent infection (CSI) is a rare but serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- Diagnosis of CSI is often challenging, requiring a combination of clinical, biological, and imaging data.
- Drug-eluting stents (DES) are increasingly used, necessitating awareness of potential complications like infection.
