It was reported through a research article identifying an absorb scaffold that was implanted in the mid and distal right coronary artery.The patient presented with angina.Pre-dilatation was performed with an unspecified 2.5x20mm balloon at 12 atmospheres (atms), and the 3.5x28mm absorb biodegradable scaffold was implanted at 12 atms.Pre-dilatation was performed again with an unspecified 2.5x20mm balloon at 12 atms, and another 3x18mm absorb biodegradable scaffold was implanted at 14 atms.Post-dilatation was not performed.The patient developed thrombosis and myocardial infarction (mi) 376 days later.Additionally, malapposition was noted.Type of treatment was not specified.Specific patient information is documented as unknown.Details are listed in the attached article, titled "comparison of an everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold with an everolimus-eluting metallic stent in routine pci: three-year clinical outcomes from the aida trial.".
