Abstract

We report the first case in the literature of acute myocardial infarction due to very late (5 years) drug-eluting stent (DES) thrombosis presenting with inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction immediately after epileptic convulsive seizures in a patient with known coronary artery disease. A bare-metal stent had been implanted in the left anterior descending coronary artery in 2002, and a drug-eluting stent implanted in the right coronary artery in 2003. We discuss the possible pathogenetic mechanisms implied in convulsive epileptic crisis resulting in development of very late DES thrombosis.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
