Overview
Stents are usually placed in the proximal segments of major epicardial vessels, hence in-stent thrombotic occlusion clinically present as severe ischemia or infarction[1].
Management
Emergent target lesion or target vessel revascularization is the treatment of choice in stent thrombosis to restore vessel patency.
- Revascularization may be carried out by PCI or in some instances, thrombolytics [2].
- If revascularization is not successful, urgent CABG should be considered.
- The probable cause for stent thrombosis should be evaluated as the treatment varies with etiology. The probable contributing factors are:
- suboptimal stent apposition,
- Procedure-related variables of persistent dissection, total stent length, and final lumen diameter were significantly associated with the probability of stent thrombosis[1].
- premature discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy,
- clopidogrel resistance.
- If the patient develops stent thrombosis while on clopidogrel, it may suggest that the patient was not responsive to clopidrogrel therapy. TRITON TIMI 38 trial[3] demonstrated that newer antiplatelet agents such as prasugrel[4] may be used after weighing the risks of bleeding against benefits of decreased recurrence of stent thrombosis/coronary events.
- Patients who present with stent thrombosis after completing the recommended duration of treatment with clopidogrel restarting clopidogrel 75 mg daily along with aspirin and continuing for a minimum of one year should be considered.
