Abstract
SummaryWe describe a case of a young patient with a recurrent episode of very late stent thrombosis (VLST) in whom the sirolimus-eluting stent was implanted on the culprit lesion in the left anterior descending artery. The present case showed when the etiology of VLST was not clear or in doubt of stent fracture, vigorous investigation for other causes using high resolution technology such as intravascular ultrasound or computed tomography angiography might be helpful for prevention of catastrophic events such as VLST.
