Academic research consortium de nitions of stent thrombosis

Category Definition
Definite
  1. Angiographic conrmation based on Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow and 1 of the following within 48 hours:
    • New acute onset of ischemic symptoms at rest
    • New ischemic electrocardiographic changes suggestive of acute ischemia
    • Typical increase and decrease in cardiac biomarkers as evidence of an acute myocardial infarction (MI)
  2. Pathologic conrmation of recent ST at autopsy or by tissue examination after thrombectomy

Probable
  1. Any unexplained death within the first 30 days

  2. MI related to acute ischemia in the territory of the implanted stent without angiographic conrmation of ST and in the absence of any other obvious cause at any time after index procedure

Possible Any unexplained death after intracoronary stenting from 30 days after index percutaneous coronary intervention until the end of trial follow-up
