Multicenter StudyAcute and subacute stent thrombosis after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: incidence, predictors and clinical outcome.
Early coronary stent thrombosis occurs most frequent after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). ⋯ The specific risk factors for, respectively, acute and subacute stent thrombosis after primary PCI vary greatly. Mortality rates are high for both categories of stent thrombosis. However, recurrent stent thrombosis occurs more frequently after subacute stent thrombosis.
