Chronic Total Occlusion 5 Years After Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Implantation: A Serial Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment.

Chronic Total Occlusion 5 Years After Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Implantation: A Serial Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment. J Invasive Cardiol. 2020 May;32(5):E141 Authors: Ochijewicz D, Tomaniak M, Kołtowski L, Kochman J Abstract Angiography at 60 months post implantation of an Absorb 1.0 bioresorbable vascular scaffold (Abbott Vascular) revealed a total occlusion at the distal scaffold. Within the proximal edge, optical coherence tomography showed complete absorption of stent struts with a decreased mean scaffold area and diameter. PMID: 32357140 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
