The mechanism of stent thrombus formation following percutaneous transluminal stent implantation in an artery is unclear. This case report describes a 72-year-old man who had a mobile thrombus in a Wallstent in the right iliac artery despite daily oral administration of 100 mg of aspirin. This Wallstent was implanted 14 years ago. The unique in vivo angioscopic images show a solid mobile thrombus with some projections which rubbed yellow plaque on the stent struts.
