文摘

Drug-eluting stents (DES) reduce intimal hyperplasia and restenosis, but they also inhibit stent endothelization, making the vascular surface more thrombogenic. The present report describes two cases of in-stent restenosis after DES deployment at exactly the same sites where subacute stent thrombosis had occurred. Extremely careful follow-up is mandatory after the recognition of intraluminal thrombi inside DES because restenosis may occur at the same site of DES thrombosis.
