Abstract

We report a case of late stent thrombosis two years after implantation of a coronary stent graft (Jomed Covered Stent, CSG) and a week after cessation of aspirin therapy due to circumcision. Caution in adherence to anti-thrombotic therapy is warranted years following implantation of coronary stent grafts.
