Stent Thrombosis: Incidence, Predictors and New Technologies

Table 3

Predictors of stent thrombosis.

Patient characteristics	Lesion characteristics	Procedural characteristics
Diabetes mellitus	Long segment of disease	Stent underexpansion
Chronic kidney disease	Small diameter vessel	Stent malapposition
Acute presentation	Saphenous venous graft	Edge dissection
Current smoker	Chronic total occlusion	Strut fracture
Reduced left ventricular function	Bifurcation lesion	Multiple stent implantation and stent overlap
Cancer		Geographic miss and residual stenosis
DAPT non-responsiveness		Reduced TIMI flow alter procedure
Premature cessation of DAPT
Advanced age
Thrombocythemia
Hypersensitivity to polymer or drug

DAPT: dual antiplatelet therapy; TIMI: thrombolysis in myocardial infarction.
