Abstract

Drug-eluting stents (DES) dramatically reduce the rate of restenosis and the need for repeat revascularization. Despite these promising results, stent thrombosis seems to occur more frequently with DES and often seems to be associated with premature discontinuation of antiplatelet agents. We experienced a case of recurrent stent thrombosis with separate lesions. Recurrent stent thrombosis is a very rare event, and simultaneous stent thrombosis is also rare. Here, we report a case of recurrently developing stent thrombosis involving separate lesions.
