Introduction: Stent thrombosis (ST) is an uncommon, but significant complication following angioplasty. We aimed to examine the predictors, clinical outcomes and mechanism of definite ST cases among patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: This was a retrospective observational registry of 14,935 patients from the year 2011 till 2015. Clinical characteristics, clinical outcome and intracoronary imaging data were recorded in all the patients. The SPSS Statistic version 24 was used for statistical analysis. The Cox regression hazard model was used to report calculate the hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Independent predictors of ST were identified by univariate logistic regression analysis. Variables that showed a statistically significant effect in univariate analyses were entered in a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. A p-value<0.05 was regarded as significant. Results: The incidence of definite ST was 0.25% (37 out of 14935 patients). 75% of ST group patients presented with ST elevation myocardial infarction (75% vs. 19.8%, p<0.01). There was higher mortality among patients with ST when compared to the group without ST (Hazard Ratio, HR=10.69, 95%CI: 1.13, 100). Two independent predictors of ST were 1) previous history of acute myocardial infarction (HR=2.36, 95%CI: 1.19, 4.70) and 2) PCI in the context of acute coronary syndrome when compared to elective PCI (HR=37, 95%CI: 15.7, 91.5). Examination of 19 ST cases with intracoronary imaging identified nine cases (47%) of underexpanded stents and five cases (26%) of malopposition of stents. Conclusions: ST is associated with high mortality. PCI in acute coronary syndrome setting and a previous history of acute myocardial infarction were significant predictors for ST. Intracoronary imaging identified stent underexpansion and malopposition as common reasons for ST. In cases where the risk of ST is high, the use of intracoronary imaging guided PCI is recommended.
