OCT guided complex BVS implantation and 18-month healing response

Author: Maciej Lesiak, Department of Cardiology University of Medical Sciences in Poznan, Poland

 

CONCLUSION

  • Complex bifurcation stenting with two BVS is feasible (T or TAP) with good early and long-term results
  • After 18 months healing is complete, few (possibly) uncovered struts can be found
  • After 18 months prominent neocarina is composed of two layers of BVS struts covered with neointima
  • SB ostium stays widely open
  • Longer OCT follow-up will help to understand the complete healing process
