Ischemia Stent Thrombosis 
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In this phenomenon, a thrombus forms within the lumen of the stent graft component of the frozen elephant trunk prosthesis and puts the patient at risk for downstream embolization with visceral or lower limb ischemia. Therefore, the presence of ILT is associated with increased short-term mortality and morbidity.

Smits and a distinguished team of international researchers, the trial compares the performance of SMT's biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting Supraflex Cruz stent with the biodegradable-polymer Ultimaster Tansei * stent in patients with high bleeding risk (HBR) undergoing abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT).

A man in his 70s with past medical history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, CAD s/p left circumflex stent 2 years prior presented to the ED with worsening intermittent exertional chest pain relieved by rest. The baseline ECG is basically normal with no ischemia. In my opinion, I think it looks more like subendocardial ischemia.

The ECG in the chart was read as "no obvious ST changes," (even though no previous ECG was available) and the formal read by the emergency physicians was: "ST deviation and moderated T-wave abnormality, consider lateral ischemia." It was stented. Comment: most T-wave inversion is nonspecific, but not these ones! Gottlieb SO, et al.

I would expect TIMI-3 flow (normal flow, no persistent ischemia) with a culprit in the RCA (or possibly Circumflex). I would expect that a stent would be placed. The angiogram showed an open artery with 95% stenosis and thrombosis and it was stented. What would I expect the angiogram to show?

There is broad subendocardial ischemia as demonstrated by STE aVR with concomitant STD that almost appears appropriately maximal in Leads II and V5. There is LBBB-like morphology with persistent patterns of subendocardial ischemia. A mid-LAD culprit lesion was identified and stented. References Naidu, S.

Although the attending crews did not consider the ECG pathognomonic for occlusive thrombosis, they nonetheless considered the patient high-risk for ACS and implored him to reconsider. He was rushed to the Cath Lab where an LAD culprit lesion was stented. Here is the LAD after stent placement.
