Successful management of the recurrent acute in-stent thrombosis despite optimal medical therapy: a case report and review of the literature

This case illustrates how recurrent in-stent thrombosis may occur despite adherence to current procedural and pharmacological standards. Mechanical causes, particularly those not visible on angiography, should be actively investigated using intravascular imaging in patients with unexplained or repeated stent thrombosis. Early identification and correction of these issues, combined with aggressive control of metabolic risk factors, are essential for preventing further events and improving clinical outcomes.

Abstract

This case illustrates how recurrent in-stent thrombosis may occur despite adherence to current procedural and pharmacological standards. Mechanical causes, particularly those not visible on angiography, should be actively investigated using intravascular imaging in patients with unexplained or repeated stent thrombosis. Early identification and correction of these issues, combined with aggressive control of metabolic risk factors, are essential for preventing further events and improving clinical outcomes.
