Although drug-eluting stents (DES) reduce restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) more effectively than bare-metal stents (BMS), there are a variety of DES-related complications, such as coronary artery vasospasm.An inability to administer adjunctive medical treatment for DES-induced coronary vasospasm after stent implantation promotes the coagulation system and thrombus formation, which may result in acute myocardial infarction. Here, we present a case in which DES-induced severe coronary vasospasm was clinically suspected as a cause of subacute stent thrombosis (ST)....
