Patient 5.It was reported that this patient was featured in a journal article titled, "very late scaffold thrombosis after everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold [brs] implantation in patients with unremarkable interim surveillance angiography".The patient with st elevated myocardial infarction (stemi) and subtotal occlusion of the proximal and mid right coronary artery (rca) was treated with three brs (two 3.5/28 mm and a 3.5/18 mm devices).Because of dissection at the distal edge of the distal brs, a 3.0/9 mm des was implanted.Surveillance angiography showed mild restenosis in the mid rca, with no indication for treatment.532 days after index percutaneous coronary intervention (pci), the patient suffered a recurrent myocardial infarction with very late scaffold thrombosis and subtotal thrombotic occlusion within the scaffolded segment of the mid rca.Optical coherence tomography showed focal scaffold discontinuity in the distal brs with overlying thrombus and an otherwise acceptable result in the stented segment.In addition, there was restenosis with an oct-derived percent lumen area stenosis of 54%.The lesion was treated with balloon dilation followed by implantation of des.No additional information was provided.
