Figure 2
An illustration of a very late stent thrombosis 18 months following Sirolimus-eluting stent implantation in the circumflex artery. Panel (a) demonstrates the angiographic image. Panel (b) shows evidence of thrombus removed with a thrombus extraction system, and, finally Panel (c) illustrates malapposed struts and adherent thrombus following predilatation and assessment with optical coherence tomography.
