Late total occlusion (LTO) after simultaneous coronary stenting and brachytherapy has been described in recent randomized trials. We report a case of LTO presenting with an acute clinical event 15 months after the index procedure, suggesting that the risk is not confined to the first 6‐month to 1‐year period.
