| Abstract: | Subacute stent thrombosis occurred in a patient 34 days after receiving a heparin-coated (HC) stent. The patient developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and diffuse thrombosis after the stent was placed. This raises the concern that patients who develop heparin-associated antibodies in the context of a recently placed HC stent may have an increased risk for subacute stent thrombosis. |
