  • Title: Coexistent in-stent restenosis, late incomplete stent apposition and mural thrombus in a zotarolimus-eluting stent.
    Author: Zhang F, Qian J, Ge J.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2008 Aug; 20(8):423-5. PubMed ID: 18688068.
    Abstract:
    Drug-eluting stents (DES) have been demonstrated to dramatically reduce the rate of in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, some studies found an increased rate of late incomplete stent apposition (ISA) and late stent thrombosis (ST) in DES compared to traditional bare-metal stents (BMS). Endeavor stent, a new cobalt-alloy DES coated with phosphorylcholine and zotarolimus, has been reported to have a very favorable safety profile with few documented late-acquired ISA and late ST. In the present report, we described an interesting case with coexistent ISR, late ISA and mural thrombus in an Endeavor zotarolimus-eluting stent 8 months after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
