Published: April 2017

Overlapping permanent scaffolds carries a long-term risk of target vessel failure due to late malapposition and the development of neoatherosclerosis. Potentially, overlapping bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) may lead to lower long-term risk. The GHOST-EU registry reported similar short- and mid-term risks in patients with and without BRS overlap. Larger size studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm the safety of BRS overlap.

Article Synopsis
  • Sequential intermediate kissing balloon dilation (sIKBD) improves the effectiveness of crush stenting, but optimal procedures for its use are still uncertain.
  • This study assessed the impact of sIKBD on mini-crush stenting (mini-CS) using different types of stents in bifurcation models and employed advanced imaging techniques for analysis.
  • Results indicated that incorporating sIKBD led to better outcomes, including reduced stent malapposition and less stenosis in side-branches, particularly with metal drug-eluting stents compared to bioresorbable scaffolds.

Advances in image reconstruction using either single or multimodality imaging data provide increasingly accurate three-dimensional (3D) patient's arterial models for shear stress evaluation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). We aim to evaluate the impacts on endothelial shear stress (ESS) derived from a simple image reconstruction using 3D-quantitative coronary angiography (3D-QCA) versus a multimodality reconstruction method using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients' vessels treated with bioresorbable scaffolds. Seven vessels at baseline and five-year follow-up of seven patients from a previous CFD investigation were retrospectively selected for a head-to-head comparison of angiography-derived versus OCT-derived ESS.

Coronary Artery Stenting Affects Wall Shear Stress Topological Skeleton.

Despite the important advancements in the stent technology for the treatment of diseased coronary arteries, major complications still affect the postoperative long-term outcome. The stent-induced flow disturbances, and especially the altered wall shear stress (WSS) profile at the strut level, play an important role in the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to stent thrombosis (ST) and in-stent restenosis (ISR). In this context, the analysis of the WSS topological skeleton is gaining more and more interest by extending the current understanding of the association between local hemodynamics and vascular diseases.

Objective: The data on using novolimus-eluting DESolve bioresorbable scaffolds (BVS) for long-segment coronary artery lesions remains insufficient. In this study, our main objective was to assess the long-term effects of the overlapping applications of both DESolve-DESolve and the drug-eluting stent (DES)-DESolve.

Methods: A single-centered study of 103 patients scheduled for DESolve placement for long-segment lesions (>28 mm) was conducted (October 2013 to November 2016).

Lesion impacts on long-term outcomes in patients implanted with bioresorbable vascular scaffold.

Background: Bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) had been implanted to several kinds of complex coronary lesions in real-world practice. We tested if long-term outcomes of BVS for complex lesions would be worse than that for relatively simple lesions.

Methods: We analyzed 457 patients (59 ± 12 years, 87% male) with 714 BVS implanted for their 529 lesions and median follow-up of 32.
