Özet

Bare-metal stents are commonly used in the treatment of coronary artery disease. Stent thrombosis usually occurs within the first 48 hours after stent deployment After a week, the incidence of thrombosis is low. Late stent thrombosis (after 30 days) is rarely seen; however, its clinical outcomes are severe 30-day mortality rates of 20% to 48% and myocardial infarction rates of 60% to 70%. Herein, we present the case and discuss the treatment of a patient who, after heavy exercise, experienced acute myocardial infarction due to late thrombosis in a bare-metal stent.
