Myocardial Perfusion Imaging of Subacute Stent Thrombosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation is known to be effective in treating patients with coronary artery disease. Although subacute stent thrombosis (SAT) is not common, it is a life- threatening complication after PCI.
