Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds: A Disappearing Technology, But Should We Let It Vanish?

03/01/2023

This case of a 72-year-old gentleman presenting with angina and moderate stenosis demonstrates the ability to image a target vessel non-invasively and revascularize percutaneously or surgically with bioresorbable vascular scaffolds.

This case of a 72-year-old...

Rotational Atherectomy Combined With Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Implantation: A Feasible Approach for Recurrent In-stent Restenosis When Other Therapies Failed

06/29/2015

Lino Patrício , MD, PhD;

Tiago Pereira-da-Silva , MD;

Rui Cruz Ferreira , MD;

The optimal treatment for recurrent in-stent restenosis (ISR) is uncertain. The authors describe a feasible combined treatment for recurrent ISR using neointimal debulking and ablation of underexpanded stents by rotational atherectomy...

Lorenzo Azzalini , MD, PhD, MSc;

Phillipe L. L'Allier , MD;

Experience with bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVSs) outside clinical trials is scarce, and data from “real-world” use are needed. In particular, there are few data on scaffold thrombosis (ST); we report our experience with ST in our...
