Abstract：Objective To investigate the relationship between stent thrombosis and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in patients after coronary artery stent implantation (CASI). Methods One hundred and seventeen patients were rolled after CASI, of which 29 suffering from OSAHS were enrolled into the research group, 88 patients without OSAHS were enrolled into the control group. The incidence rate of stent thrombosis between the above two groups was analyzed. Results Three patients suffered stent thrombosis in the research group, with the incidence rate of 10.3%,which was significantly higher than that in the control group, with the incidence rate of 1.10%(P = 0.047). Conclusions After CASI, patients with OSAHS had higher risk of stent thrombosis compared with patients without OSAHS. OSHAS should be considered as a risk factor for stent thrombosis.
