ARC Definitions of ST

• Definite Stent Thrombosis– Angiographic or pathological conformation of partial or total

thrombotic occlusion within the peri-stent region AND at least one of:

– Acute ischaemic symptoms

– Ischaemic ECG changes

– Elevated biomarkers

• Probable Stent Thrombosis– Any unexplained death within 30 days of stent implantation

– Any MI related to ischemia in the territory of the implanted stent without angiographic conformation of ST

• Possible Stent Thrombosis– Any unexplained death beyond 30 days
