Prognosis of coronary stent thrombosis
The overall poor prognosis of stent thrombosis makes this rare complication, a devastating and hence extremely inportant one. A sub-analysis of TRITON-TIMI 38 study showed that stent thrombosis was associated with death or myocardial infarction in 89% (186/210) of patients[1]. In follow up studies after stent thrombosis, recurrent stent thrombosis has also been noticed, especially during the following six months[2].
