Factors associated with early, late, and very late stent thrombosis among patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing coronary stent placement: analysis from the ATLAS ACS 2-TIMI 51 trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stent thrombosis (ST) is an uncommon but serious complication of stent implantation. This study aimed to explore factors associated with early, late, and very late ST to help guide risk assessment and clinical decision-making on ST.

Methods

The analysis included patients who received stent placement for the index acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Cumulative incidence of ST was assessed at 30 days (early ST), 31-360 days (late ST), 361-720 days (very late ST), and up to 720 days. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess associations between ST and various factors, including patient characteristics [i.e., age, sex, ACS presentation, history of hypertension, smoking, diabetes, prior myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, prior ischemic stroke, and cancer]
