Abstract
Despite significant advances in stent technology and pharmacotherapy, drug-eluting stent thrombosis (DES-ST) remains a major complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and commonly presents as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). There are currently little data comparing the in-hospital outcomes of patients presenting with STEMI due to DES-ST with those due to de novo coronary artery disease (CAD).
