    Author: Kerner A, Gruberg L, Kapeliovich M, Grenadier E.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2003 Dec; 60(4):505-8. PubMed ID: 14624431.
    Abstract:
    Late stent thrombosis in the era of routine high-pressure stent deployment and combined antiplatelet therapy with thienopyridines and aspirin has become a rare but feared complication. We describe a patient with acute myocardial infarction due to late stent thrombosis 6 weeks after deployment of a sirolimus-eluting stent and 2 weeks after the discontinuation of clopidogrel. This is the first report of late thrombosis of a sirolimus-eluting stent.
