Article Synopsis
- Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a procedure used to treat severe aortic valve stenosis, particularly in patients who are at high risk for traditional surgery.
- An 80-year-old woman with severe stenosis and mild surgical risk opted for TAVI instead of traditional surgery, leading to the implantation of a Lotus valve via the transfemoral route.
- During the procedure, she suffered interscapular pain and was found to have a rare type B aortic dissection, which was successfully treated with a vascular endoprosthesis, highlighting the unpredictable nature of complications associated with TAVI.
Long-Term Clinical Outcomes After Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Implantation for the Treatment of Coronary In-Stent Restenosis: A Multicenter Italian Experience.
Circ Cardiovasc Interv
April 2016
Background: Treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) is still challenging. In this setting, the use of bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) seems attractive because it allows drug delivery combined with transient vessel scaffolding. We aimed to investigate the long-term results after BVS use in ISR lesions.

Bioabsorbable drug eluting vascular scaffolds (BVSs) provide transient vessel scaffolding combined with prolonged drug delivery capability. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety of BVS for the treatment of coronary ISR.

Direct stenting (DS) was attempted in 99 coronary lesions in 94 patients while standard stenting (SS) was attempted in 113 lesions in 103 patients matched for clinical characteristics, stenosis type, and location and stent type. The angiographic result was also evaluated according to TIMI frame count method (TFC) before and after procedure. A clinical follow-up was performed 1 year after the procedure.
