Subacute stent thrombosis occurred in a patient 34 days after receiving a heparin‐coated (HC) stent. The patient developed heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia and diffuse thrombosis after the stent was placed. This raises the concern that patients who develop heparin‐associated antibodies in the context of a recently placed HC stent may have an increased risk for subacute stent thrombosis.
