title: [Very late bare-metal stent thrombosis 10 years after the implantation: a case report].
abstract: Very late thrombosis occurring after bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation is a rare complication. It differs from very late thrombosis of drug-eluting stents in terms of both frequency and pathophysiological mechanism. We report a case of very late stent thrombosis of a bare-metal stent 10 years after his implantation for treatment of a myocardial infarction. The patient had a new acute coronary syndrome without persistent ST-segment elevation related to bare-metal stent thrombosis. He was treated by thrombo-aspiration and implantation of a new bare-metal stent.
