Coexistent in-stent restenosis, late incomplete stent apposition and mural thrombus in a zotarolimus-eluting stent

J Invasive Cardiol. 2008 Aug;20(8):423-5.

Abstract

Drug-eluting stents (DES) have been demonstrated to dramatically reduce the rate of in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, some studies found an increased rate of late incomplete stent apposition (ISA) and late stent thrombosis (ST) in DES compared to traditional bare-metal stents (BMS). Endeavor stent, a new cobalt-alloy DES coated with phosphorylcholine and zotarolimus, has been reported to have a very favorable safety profile with few documented late-acquired ISA and late ST. In the present report, we described an interesting case with coexistent ISR, late ISA and mural thrombus in an Endeavor zotarolimus-eluting stent 8 months after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
