Recurrent very late stent thrombosis after bare-metal stent implantation.
Very late bare-metal stent thrombosis occurring beyond 1 year after stenting is uncommon. Although much attention has been paid for late stent thrombosis, long-term outcome of patients who developed late stent thrombosis is not clear. We report a case of recurrent very late stent thrombosis after bare-metal stent implantation.
