The potential hazard of drug-eluting stent-induced coronary vasospasm causing subacute stent thrombosis: a case report.

To our knowledge, the present case is the first report describing in-stent thrombosis secondary to stent-edge spasm. This case describes the potential hazard of DES-induced coronary vasospasm. Although there are several overlapping risk factors for ST development, we consider that stent-edge spasm also plays an important role in ST development. Therefore, we should monitor new-onset rest angina after stent implantation and carefully assess DES-induced coronary vasospasm.
