Abstract: | A 75-year-old male developed late coronary stent infection with symptoms presenting months after the initial procedure. This presentation was notably different than that of other cases in the literature, which typically presented days to a few weeks after stent implantation. Persistently unendothelialized stent struts may be a nidus for late infection. |
