Very Late Stent Thrombosis Due to Late Stent Malapposition

Post-mortem computed tomography in adults

There has been increasing interest in recent years in a new application of cross-sectional imaging, that of investigation of cause of death. A perceived public distaste for invasive autopsy, fuelled in part by the organ retention scandals of the late 1990s, coupled with disquiet about the fitness-for-practice of the coronial system, has led to a search for a less invasive alternative. A post-mo...

Triple, simultaneous, very late coronary stent thrombosis.

Coronary artery stent thrombosis is an uncommon but potentially catastrophic complication. The risk of very late stent thrombosis (VLST) raises important safety issues regarding the first generation of drug-eluting stents (DES). Although several complex mechanisms for VLST have been suggested and various predictors have been described, its pathophysiology is not completely understood and it is ...
