title: Acute stent thrombosis visualized by intravascular ultrasound.
abstract: Subacute stent thrombosis is currently a rare but feared complication in patients undergoing coronary intervention. Intravascular ultrasound is a useful technique to guide stent implantation. However, its value in patients suffering from acute stent thrombosis has not been described. Herein, we present the intravascular ultrasound findings of a patient experiencing ongoing stent thrombosis and impending vessel closure.
