Acute and subacute stent thromboses are rare but life-threatening complications of primary coronary intervention and stenting. We present a case of a patient with COVID-19 infection who presented with pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Reperfusion was achieved with coronary angioplasty and drug-eluting stent placement, and the patient was started on aspirin and clopidogrel. However, 72 hours later, the patient experienced an episode of subacute stent thrombosis. This raises concerns about a possible association between stent thrombosis and increased thrombogenicity and platelet aggregability triggered by COVID-19 infection.
急性和亚急性支架血栓形成是冠状动脉介入治疗和支架置入术罕见但危及生命的并发症。我们报告一例新冠肺炎感染患者,该患者表现为肺炎、急性呼吸衰竭和非ST段抬高型心肌梗死。通过冠状动脉成形术和药物洗脱支架置入实现了再灌注,患者开始服用阿司匹林和氯吡格雷。然而,72小时后,患者发生了一次亚急性支架血栓形成。这引发了人们对支架血栓形成与新冠肺炎感染引发的血栓形成增加和血小板聚集性增加之间可能存在关联的担忧。
