Preliminary Considerations Impact of late and very late ST relative to early ST Differences within and between DES “generations” Is study duration of follow-up adequate to address the question? Duration of DAPT and impact on late and very late ST rates

Very Late Stent Thrombosis Are 2nd generation DES safer? Is there increased risk after PES vs SES? Meta analysis of clinical trials, ST >6 months lower for SES vs PES (HR 0.5, 95% CI 0.3-0.8) Network meta-analysis, LST + VLST higher for PES vs BMS or SES.

Conclusions Early stent thrombosis remains a critical determinant of overall stent thrombosis risk (especially in high-risk lesions) EES may have slightly lower risk for early stent thrombosis compared with PES ZES appears to have the lowest risk for very late stent thrombosis but no evidence for lower early risk The optimal duration of dual anti-platelet therapy to mitigate the risk of stent thrombosis for a given DES remains unknown and must be considered in stent vs stent comparisons
