Patient 7 it was reported that this patient was featured in a journal article titled, "very late scaffold thrombosis [vlsct] after everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold [brs] implantation in patients with unremarkable interim surveillance angiography".Per the article: the patient presented with nstemi [non st elevation myocardial infarction] and subtotal occlusion of the proximal lad [left anterior descending coronary artery].A 3.5/18 mm brs was implanted.Six-month follow-up angiography showed an excellent result in the proximal lad.890 days after brs implantation, the patient was admitted to hospital with stemi.Coronary angiography showed vlsct with subtotal thrombotic occlusion of the scaffold in the proximal lad.Oct [optical coherence tomography] showed a focal area of mild to moderate restenosis, a tissue bridge possibly consequent on chronic malposition and focal scaffold discontinuity with thrombosis overlying malposed struts in the vessel lumen.Flow was restored after balloon dilation and des [drug eluting stent] implantation.No additional information was provided.
