title: Bare-metal stent thrombosis after noncardiac surgery greater than 10 years after stent implantation.
abstract: We present a case of bare-metal stent thrombosis (ST) in a saphenous vein graft (SVG) after antiplatelet therapy cessation occurring in the setting of noncardiac surgery (NCS) greater than 10 years after stent implantation. This report represents the longest interval of ST in the setting of NCS and the longest interval between stent implantation and ST in a SVG.
