Optical coherence tomography guided additional Noevas bioresorbable vascular scaffold in the treatment of iatrogenic coronary artery dissection: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Iatrogenic coronary artery dissection is a potential complication during percutaneous coronary bioresorbable vascular scaffolds placement. We report that significant dissection occurred during post-expansion of the left circumflex branch bioresorbable vascular scaffolds to attach it to the wall. Additional resorbable stents successfully covered the dissection without blood flow restriction.

Casereport

The patient was a 49-year-old male with refusing intracoronary metal stents and was diagnosed with stable angina pectoris and type 2 diabetes. Coronary angiography showed serious lesions in three vessels. A Noevas stent was had placed in the proximal segment of the anterior descending branch. Unfortunately a type-D dissection occurred during post-dilatation after the
