Zusammenfassung:	This work describes the longest reported interval between drug-eluting stent (DES) placement and very late stent thrombosis (VLST). A 69-year-old male presented with substernal chest pain associated with ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI) after having a DES deployed 6.9 years (2506 days) prior. The patient's medical history revealed several risk factors for VLST. The patient suspended clopidogrel therapy in preparation for elective cystoscopy approximately 10 days before presenting.
