ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT A 53-year-old male presented with an anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Coronary angiography (upper-left-panel) demonstrated very late stent
PT
thrombosis with Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 1 flow in the mid left anterior descending (LAD). Seven years previously the patient had undergone
SC RI
implantation of a first-generation paclitaxel-eluting stent (TAXUS Liberte, Boston Scientific) to the mid LAD.
NU
Manual thrombectomy (Export aspiration catheter, Medtronic CardioVascular) aspirated an organised red thrombus mass (inset, upper-middle-panel) with restoration
MA
of TIMI III flow to the LAD (upper-middle-panel). Optical coherence tomography (C7 Dragonfly™, LightLab Imaging) (lower-panels) demonstrated severe in-stent
ED
restenosis, advanced neoatherosclerosis with necrotic core and a focal area of fibrous cap rupture (asterisk, lower-middle-panel). Due to atherosclerotic disease extending
PT
beyond the proximal stent margin, a 3.5x33mm everolimus-eluting stent (XIENCE,
CE
Abbott Vascular) was implanted and proximally optimised with a 4mm non-
AC
compliant balloon (Hiryu, Terumo) (upper-right-panel). In-stent neoatherosclerosis has been shown to be an important mechanism of late drug-eluting stent (DES) failure with first and newer generation DES. (1) Despite the negative impact of manual thrombectomy on mortality at 1-year following STEMI in the multicenter, randomized registry TASTE (Thrombus Aspiration in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Scandinavia) trial, (2) uncertainty remains regarding the role of manual thrombectomy in STEMI for important clinical outcomes in all subsets of patients.
