Abstract
Very late stent thrombosis (VLST) is a serious complication after percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the best therapy for VLST with late-acquired incomplete stent apposition and incomplete neointimal coverage remains unknown. In these cases, neointimal coverage was nearly complete and no late-acquired malapposition was detected at 18 months after Endeavor zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES) implantation for the treatment of VLST with late-acquired incomplete stent apposition after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation. We presented that Endeavor ZES implantation may become an attractive therapeutic strategy for the treatment of VLST with late-acquired incomplete stent apposition and incomplete neointimal coverage.
