Stent Thrombosis in the Modern Era
A Pooled Analysis of Multicenter Coronary Stent Clinical Trials
From the University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY (D.E.C.); Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Mass (D.E.C., K.K.L.H., D.J.C., J.P.C., M.S.C., O.R.); Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Mass (D.S.B., J.J.P., R.E.K.); and Cardiology Research Foundation, Lenox-Hill Hospital, New York, NY (A.J.L.).
Background—There are limited studies of stent thrombosis in the modern era of second-generation stents, high-pressure deployment, and current antithrombotic regimens.
Methods and Results—Six
recently completed coronary stent trials and associated nonrandomized
registries that enrolled 6186 patients (6219 treated vessels) treated
with 
1 coronary stent followed by antiplatelet therapy with aspirin
and ticlopidine were pooled for this analysis. Within 30 days, clinical
stent thrombosis developed in 53 patients (0.9%). The variables most
significantly associated with the probability of stent thrombosis were
persistent dissection NHLBI grade B or higher after stenting (OR, 3.7;
95% CI, 1.9 to 7.7), total stent length (OR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.2 to 1.5
per 10 mm), and final minimal lumen diameter within the stent (OR, 0.4;
95% CI, 0.2 to 0.7 per 1 mm). Stent thrombosis was documented by
angiography in 45 patients (0.7%). Clinical consequences of
angiographic stent thrombosis included 64.4% incidence of death or
myocardial infarction at the time of stent thrombosis and 8.9% 6-month
mortality.
Conclusions—Stent thrombosis occurred in <1.0% of patients undergoing stenting of native coronary artery lesions and receiving routine antiplatelet therapy with aspirin plus ticlopidine. Procedure-related variables of persistent dissection, total stent length, and final lumen diameter were significantly associated with the probability of stent thrombosis. Continued efforts to eliminate this complication are warranted given the serious clinical consequences.
