eMJA: Very late stent thrombosis after discontinuation of clopidogrel therapy

To the Editor: We read with great interest the case report by Barthwal and Herman,1 and agree with many of the points they raise. In-stent thrombosis after cessation of clopidogrel therapy in patients with drug-eluting stents (DES) is a significant problem in Australian medical practice, particularly in the perioperative period,2-4 as the case report by Barthwal and Herman confirms.1
