[Suspected clopidogrel resistance associated with recurrent coronary stent thrombosis--a case report].

We describe a case of an 81-year-old man with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), who received a loading dose of clopidogrel (300 mg) and aspirin (ASA) (300 mg) prior to primary coronary intervention of critical left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis. Three days later he developed recurrent acute STEMI due to the in-stent thrombosis and a second stent implantation was performed. The dose of clopidogrel (75 mg) remained unchanged, while the dose of ASA was increased from 75 mg to 150 mg.
