title: Circadian variation in symptomatic subacute stent thrombosis after bare metal coronary stent implantation.
abstract: The present study examined whether onset of symptomatic subacute stent thrombosis (SAT) varies in a circadian manner after bare metal coronary stent implantation. Among 2,305 patients who underwent bare metal coronary stent implantation, 21 (0.9%) developed symptomatic SAT. Results of the present study indicate that onset of symptomatic SAT is more frequent between 6:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M. than at any other measured 6-hour period during the day.
