Two-year Optical Coherence Tomography Findings after Balloon-Only Treatment of Bioresorbable Scaffold Restenosis in a Calcified Coronary Lesion: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of a 65-year-old female patient treated with an everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) after rotational atherectomy of a severely calcified lesion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The implanted BRS restenosed 10 months after implantation and was treated with a scoring balloon followed by drug-eluting balloons with good immediate and long-term results. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a balloon-only treatment of a restenosis occurring more than 6 months after BRS implantation; angiographic and optical coherence tomography images after treatment and at two-year follow-up are presented.

Optical coherence tomography findings after longitudinal ablation for an underexpanded stent in a heavily calcified lesion: a case report
BACKGROUND Heavy coronary artery calcification is responsible for stent underexpansion, which is associated with increased in-stent restenosis. Here we report a case in which optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated that the metal component of an underexpanded stent previously implanted in a heavy calcified lesion had been completely removed after ablation with rotational atherectomy. ...

Bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) implantation has been shown to be safe in patients with stable coronary disease, and effective against the thrombotic lesion and the in-stent restenosis (ISR) of the drug-eluting stent (DES). BVSs have the advantages of a snow racket concept, positive vessel remodeling, and better conformability compared with DES in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We report ...

B ioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVSs) have many hypothetical advantages over metal stents due to early restoration of vasomotion, unimpaired imaging with computed tomography, as well as the maintenance of potential insertion sites for future bypass grafting. We report a 66-year-old male patient who presented with unstable angina. Cardiac catheterization showed coronary artery disease with a ...

BACKGROUND Long-term benefits of coronary stenosis treatment with an everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold are unknown. OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate clinical and imaging outcomes 5 years after bioresorbable scaffold implantation. METHODS In the ABSORB multicenter, single-arm trial, 45 (B1) and 56 patients (B2) underwent coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), ...
