Stent thrombosis is a rare PCI complication that occurs in approximately 1% of cases after successful PCI. In about 50% of cases ST occur after 30 days, and in 15% after 1 year.

Further studies are needed to demonstrate whether these predictors can be used to individualize intensity and duration of DAPT.
