Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the prognosis and clinical impact of moderate aortic stenosis, as its mortality risk was previously unclear, with a focus on how patient characteristics affect survival.* -
- Researchers analyzed 15 studies involving over 11,500 patients and found significantly higher all-cause mortality rates in those with moderate aortic stenosis compared to controls, regardless of other factors like left ventricular ejection fraction and sex.* -
- The results indicated that age significantly influenced mortality risk, suggesting that older patients with moderate aortic stenosis face a greater risk, and called for further research on the potential benefits of aortic valve replacement.*
We herein report the case of an ST-elevation myocardial infarction due to bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BRS) failure. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed the exact mechanism of late BRS stent thrombosis due to an acquired coronary aneurysm related to BRS. A drug eluting OCT-guided stenting over a failed BRS in the context of an acute coronary syndrome, with the simultaneous presence of a BRS thrombosis and coronary artery aneurysm, proved to be effective.

The role of intracoronary imaging was critical: OCT imaging led us to formulate the right diagnosis.OCT imaging revealed a multiple coronary artery dissection in the left main non-detectable on angiography and in the circumflex, with evidence of coronary hematoma in the circumflex and left anterior descending.
