Description
Behrouz Zarei and colleagues report a 75-year-old woman whose heart stents clotted after her blood-thinning drug pair was stopped early, in the setting of a blood cancer that thickens the blood. Her condition, polycythemia vera, carries a paradox of clotting and bleeding at once. She suffered repeat heart attacks with stent thrombosis after the interruption.
In March 2024 she had received two drug-releasing stents in her right coronary artery during staged procedures, with full flow restored at the time. Left main disease with two-vessel involvement complicated her picture further. Emergency imaging later showed fresh clot in the treated artery, and a new stent reopened it cleanly. Her case frames the dilemma: stopping thinners risks the stent, while her blood condition raises the stakes of every choice.
