title: Late thrombosis of a drug-eluting stent overlapped in the in-stent restenotic lesion of a bare metal stent.
abstract: Late stent thrombosis occurred in the lesion of a sirolimus-eluting stent implanted 6 months previously for an in-stent restenosis lesion in the distal right coronary artery. Seventeen days before admission due to acute myocardial infarction this time, aspirin was discontinued for colon polypectomy. Ticlopidine had been discontinued 3 months before the discontinuation of aspirin. In drug-eluting stent era, the interventional strategy and antiplatelet therapy require long term attention.
