Partial sub-struts stenting technique for emergency treatment of very late LAD stent thrombosis. a case report

Although rare, stent thrombosis remains a severe complication after stent implantation owing to its high morbidity and mortality, and represents a challenging scenario for interventional cardiology. Sub-struts stenting could constitute a rare last-resort-bailout technique for recanalization. We present herein a case of acute coronary syndrome secondary to in-stent restenosis and very late thrombosis, successfully treated with a partial sub-struts stenting.
