#CCU_CORONARY

Stent Thrombosis, although rare (occur in <1%
patients within the first year), is one of the most
serious complications following stent placement.

More than 80% of patients who experience
stent thrombosis present with acute MI, and

30-day mortality rates in patients with stent
thrombosis range from 10% to 25%.

As a result, prevention and treatment of
this complication are of utmost importance.

The thicker struts of earlier generation BMS and DES systems have been associated with increased risk of stent thrombosis, and this may have implications in the thrombosis risk of first-generation bioabsorbable scaffolds.

In addition, the polymers used in certain first-generation DES systems may be inherently throm-bogenic and/or prone to mechanical deformation after implantation, serving as a nidus for thombus formation.
