Abstract
This report describes a case of subacute stent thrombosis (SAT) after drug-coated balloon (DCB). A 79-year-old male was investigated for stable angina. An in-stent restenosis (ISR) lesion was detected by coronary angiography. A skin reaction related to the anti-platelet agent thienopyridine was also observed at this time. Therefore, DCB was used to treat the ISR lesion under single anti-platelet therapy (aspirin). However, 3 days after percutaneous coronary intervention, SAT occurred. OCT did not reveal the underlying cause of SAT. Further data are needed to clarify the optimal duration of dual anti-platelet therapy after DCB.
