Abstract
Stent thrombosis (ST) is one of the major complications that occur in percutaneous coronary interventions
(PCIs) with stents. Various factors have been attributed to the development of ST, and several strategies
have been recommended for its management. Protein C or protein S deficiencies may uncommonly be
responsible for coronary arterial thrombosis. We report a young woman with recurrent stent thrombosis
due to the deficiency of protein S. After coronary stenting, stent thrombosis occurred two times despite
aggressive medical therapy. This report suggests that the deficiency of protein C or S should be born in
mind in a young patient with recurrent thrombotic events, and that anticoagulants in addition to antiplatelet
agents considered in the presence of their deficiency.
