Introduction:Subacute stent thrombosis (ST) is related to high rates of cardiac reinfarction. The patient’s chest pain (CP) was not alleviated with initial revascularization of his left circumflex (LCx) ST, requiring PCI to his right coronary artery (RCA) chronic total occlusion (CTO). We present a case of reinfarction from ST.

Left main coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes pose significant challenges in cardiovascular care, often leading to adverse outcomes. However, the comparative long-term efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with these conditions remains unclear.
