چکیده

Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) have different mechanical properties as compared to metallic stents. Therefore, the standard procedural technique to achieve appropriate deployment may differ. Utilisation of debulking techniques, including cutting balloon and directional atherectomy prior to BVS deployment, is still questionable. Herein, we discuss a case of coronary in-stent restenosis and reveal the advantage of predilatation of the lesion with cutting balloon prior to BVS deployment.

The duration of balloon inflation affects the luminal diameter of coronary segments after bioresorbable vascular scaffolds deployment

BACKGROUND Adequate expansion is critical to achieve optimal Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds (BVS) apposition to the vessel wall. However, compared to metallic stents, BVS present different mechanical properties. Hence, slow deployment and maintenance of balloon inflation for at least 30" is recommended for BVS implantation. However, since no evidences are available demonstrating the superiori...

Bioresorbable scaffold T-stenting evaluated with optical coherence tomography.

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) ...

1-year follow-up optical coherence tomography of a "hybrid" neocarina after T-stenting with small protrusion technique using a bioresorbable vascular scaffold and a metallic stent.

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 ...

Importance of Plaque Modification before Coronary Artery Stenting

Lately, the importance of plaque modification prior to stent implantation, particularly the use of cutting and scoring balloons, has been a subject of debate. Pre-treatment or plaque modification before stent implantation is an important step to achieve the best possible result and ensure long term safety and efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The rationale behind plaque modi...

Economic Outcomes of Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds Versus Everolimus-Eluting Stents in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: 1-Year Results From the ABSORB III Trial.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the economic impact of the Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold compared with the Xience everolimus-eluting stent in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. BACKGROUND The ABSORB III trial (Everolimus-Eluting Bioresorbable Scaffolds for Coronary Artery Disease) demonstrated that the Absorb scaffold was noninferior to the X...
