Abstract

Effective anti-platelet treatment has a key role in the prevention of stent thrombosis in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era. However, despite of the use of anti-platelet agents, stent thrombosis occurs in approximately 1% of patients, with an increased likelihood of occurrence in high-risk patients or complex lesion subset of patients [1], [2], [3] and [4]. According to the previous report, triple anti-platelet therapy (aspirin + clopidogrel + cilostazol) seemed to be more effective in preventing thrombotic complications after stenting than dual anti-platelet agent [5]. But, in this report, we present a patient with subacute stent thrombosis (ST) involving two different arteries simultaneously under the use of triple anti-platelet regimen.
