AB - Discontinuation of antiplatelet medications has been strongly associated with coronary stent thrombosis. The first reported cases have been documented at 6 h to 6 weeks after stent implantation. This article presents a case of very late stent thrombosis 24 months after sirolimus eluting stent implantation and 18 months after clopidogrel discontinuation, despite aspirin continuation, and argues in favor of prolonging dual antiplatelet medication including clopidogrel in this setting, at least until data from randomized trials address this important issue.
