Bioresorbable scaffold T-stenting evaluated with optical coherence tomography.

چکیده
A 69-year-old man without cardiovascular risk factors was admitted to our hospital with unstable angina. After 48 hours he underwent coronary angiography, showing severe disease of mid left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and proximal segment of the first diagonal (DX) (Figure 1A). Balloon predilation was performed in LAD and 2 bioresorbable everolimus-eluting (3 28 mm and 3.5 28 mm) overlapped scaffolds (Absorb, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California, United States) were implanted in LAD, jailing the DX. The result at LAD was excellent but DX worsened to 90% stenosis with TIMI II flow (Figure 1B). Hence, ‘‘kissing-balloon’’ dilation was performed with a 3 15 mm balloon at LAD and 2.5 15 mm balloon at DX (Figure 1C). As the compromise of DX persisted, we implanted a bioresorbable everolimus-eluting scaffold (2.5 18 mm) through the proximal stent in a T-fashion stenting, inflating a 3 15 mm balloon in LAD to avoid scaffold protrusion, with excellent angiographic final result (Figure 1D). Several optical coherence tomography pullbacks from LAD and DX were performed, confirming correct strut apposition. There was a slight protrusion of the DX scaffold into LAD, perhaps because the balloon used to avoid scaffold protrusion was too small (Figure 2A: pullback from LAD and 2B: pullback from DX, *struts protruding from DX in LAD). Patient was discharged on dual antiplatelet therapy (acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel) for a year. Six months later remained asymptomatic. Although increasing, experience with bioresorbable scaffolds in some situations, such as bifurcations, is limited. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case in which a true T-stenting was performed using bioresorbable scaffolds. Figure 1. 10 20 LAD

BACKGROUND Although bioresorbable scaffolds offer potential advantages compared with metallic drug-eluting stents in the treatment of complex coronary bifurcation lesions, there are concerns that the polymeric scaffold integrity may be compromised. This in vivo study sought to provide insights about the feasibility of performing complex bifurcation stenting with Absorb bioresorbable vascular sc...

A 75-year-old man with stable angina underwent coronary angiography demonstrating significant stenosis at the bifurcation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) with a diagonal branch (Figure 1A). Following predilation, a 3.5 28-mm bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) (Absorb, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) was implanted in the LAD. This was followed by post-dilation ...
متن کاملAbsorb Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold in Complex Coronary Bifurcation Interventions
Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions is common in everyday practice and accounts for ≤20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions. The treatment of these lesions with drug-eluting stents, especially when a double-stent technique is used, remains challenging and is associated with a lower procedural success and a higher rate of long-term adverse cardiac events such as stent restenosis an...

We report herein the optical coherence tomography (OCT) and stent boost imaging guided bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) implantation for right coronary artery (RCA) chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesion. The gold standard for evaluating BVS expansion after percutaneous coronary intervention is OCT. However, stent boost imaging is a new technique that improves fluoroscopy-based assessments o...

BACKGROUND Nonserial observations have shown this bioresorbable scaffold to have no signs of area reduction at 6 months and recovery of vasomotion at 1 year. Serial observations at 6 months and 2 years have to confirm the absence of late restenosis or unfavorable imaging outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS The ABSORB trial is a multicenter single-arm trial assessing the safety and performance of an...
