Simultaneous subacute thrombosis of bare metal coronary stents in two different arteries early after clopidogrel cessation.
Coronary stent thrombosis is a rare event leading to ST segment elevation myocardial infarction  and death. Although early thrombosis of drug-eluting and bare metal stents is relatively  frequent, simultaneous thrombosis of bare metal coronary stents has rarely been reported.  Here, we present a case of simultaneous subacute thrombosis of two bare metal stents in  different coronary arteries early after clopidogrel cessation.
