Delivery of a bioresorbable vascular scaffold to complex lesions

Abstract

The use of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) in percutaneous coronary interventions holds great promise and the Absorb® BVS is increasingly used in clinical practice outside of controlled studies. However, questions have been raised concerning the delivery of the scaffold to complex lesions. We describe a case of successful delivery and implantation of two overlapping Absorb® BVS to a complex lesion in the left anterior descending artery. The crossing of the lesions was uneventful and after implantation a good acute result could be documented. A follow‐up angiogram after 3 months proofed a stable midterm result. We thereby demonstrate the feasibility of delivering Absorb® BVS to more complex lesions than practiced so far in the setting of clinical trials. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
