Here we report a case of acute myocardial infarction as a consequence of very late in-stent thrombosis due to multiple stent fractures at 8 sites and multiple stent malapposition formation four years after a sirolimus-eluting stent implantation (Firebird, Microport, Shanghai, China).展开更多

Recently, some drug-eluting stents have been demonstrated to dramatically reduce restenosis rates. Despite these promising results, these drug-eluting stents may have the same potential risks as brachytherapy, with some similarities between the 2 technologies in anti-proliferative effects on vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. We reported a case of late stent malapposition and marked positive vessel remodeling after sirolimus-eluting coronary stent implantation.展开更多

This study was designed to evaluate the frequency of late stent malapposition at least 1 year after different DESs implantation by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods Angiographic and OCT examinations were given to 68 patients who had received total 126 various DESs implantation for at least 1 year to detect late stent malapposition. Malapposed strut distance (MSD), malapposed strut area (MSA), reference lumen area (RLA) and reference stent area (RSA) were checked with off-line OCT analysis. Results Totally 26 Cypher Select stents, 15 Taxus Liberte stents, 51 Partner stents and 34 Firebird I stents were examined. Among 68 patients who underwent DES implantation, 7 patients (10.3%) had late malapposition. Average RSA, MSA and MSD were (7.9=6?..8) mm2,(2.0+1.6) mm2 and (590_+_270) pm respectively. According to the MSA/RSA ratio 4 patients had slight malapposition, 2 patients had moderate malapposition and 1 patient had severe malapposition. Conclusions Late stent malapposition is detected frequently after implantation of DES, but if this predisposes to late stent thrombosis and requires any specific therapy needs to be further elucidated.展开更多

The mechanisms are still unidentified. Stent malapposition is supposed to be one debated reason. Here we report a case of 33 months after DES implanted. Observed by optical coherence tomography, we detected a lipid-rich plaque with defective fibrous cap within the neointima and many local aneurysmal dilatations between stent struts, which mimic "malapposition" on the angiogram. These indicated that vulnerable plaque hidden in the neointima at the stent segment might be a potential mechanism of very late stent thrombosis after DES implantation.展开更多

However, there has been no clear elucidation of time course and mechanism. We reported a case who developed LSM and coronary aneurysm very early after paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) implantation. A review of the literature reveals no previous report describing rapid development of LSM and coronary aneurysm after PES implantation.展开更多
