| Abstrakt: | In patients with acute coronary syndrome or obstructive coronary artery disease, stents, especially drug-eluting stents (DESs), are used for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). DES prevents abrupt closure of the stented artery. Stent thrombosis is an uncommon but serious complication of PCI, especially with the recent advancement of stent technology. We present a case of a 75-year-old male who initially suffered a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) treated appropriately with PCI and subsequently developed stent thrombosis after 10 days of initial stent placement. He then underwent emergent repeat PCI with successful replacement of stents overlapping previous stents. The patient did well following the procedure. His clopidogrel was changed to a more potent antiplatelet ticagrelor. He remained stable throughout the hospital stay and was discharged home without any further complications following the next 90 days.
