Bench evaluation of the Fantom scaffold (REVA) in bifurcations

European Bifurcation Club 2019, EBC 2019 - Barcelona, Spain NEWS 1 Usability of Fantom Bioresorbable Scaffold in Non Complex Bifurcations: Technical Analysis in Bench Models Author: Gabor G. Toth, MD, PhD, University Heart Centre Graz, Austria AIM To evaluate, whether POT-SB-POT technique can be considered as a reasonable bail-out option for Fantom® bioresorbable scaffold, to tackle a simple bifurcation lesion CONCLUSION Fantom® polycarbonate copolymer coronary scaffold is considered to have improved structural characteristics Still, marked structural destruction of the scaffold has been observed in bench models when doing POT-SB-POT approach Considering that POT-SB-POT might be ‘the most gentle’ bifurcation technique from device point of view Therefore the use of Fantom® in any bifurcation anatomy should be strongly discouraged.

Learnings From the Bench and a Thrombogenicity Model

European Bifurcation Club 2019, EBC 2019 - Barcelona, Spain NEWS 1 Learnings From the Bench and a Thrombogenicity Model Author: Nicolas Foin, MSc, PhD, National Heart Research Institute Singapore; Philips Healthcare, Belgium LEARNINGS FROM THE BENCH Bench models allow to study questions in controlled and reproducible experimental environments Make use tools such as Micro-CT, Radial & Longitudinal Strength tes;ng, 3D printing, Perfusion test, Histology, SEM Microscopy. LIMITATIONS It can only provide a partial model to investigate a question and cannot mimic the entire tissue /plaque characteristics and in-vivo biological response. Results can not always be transposed directly to in-vivo situations and should be interpreted with caution. Bench models complement, but do not replace clinical/imaging studies SUMMARY Stent underexpansion and stent malapposition distances affect flow disturbances and shear rate in a dose-dependent relation. Severe malapposition (ISA distance > 300 um) create higher shear rate with persitent malapposition + uncovered strut at follow-up. In-vitro experiments with perfused blood suggest that large malapposed stent segment create potential sites for platelet adhesion and clot development. Stent optimisation (expansion and apposition) with appropriate sizing, post-dilatation and imaging can improve local hemodynamic environment and reduce area of high shear disturbance.

A case of huge coronary perforation during insertion of a long stent in severe calcified bifurcation lesion

A case of huge coronary perforation during insertion of a long stent in severe calcified bifurcation lesion Author: Yoshinobu Murasato, MD, PhD, Kyushu Medical Center, Japan Take home messages: • A long stent insertion in the calcified bifurcation lesion led to stack of the stent and S-figure flection which resulted in huge coronary perforation. • The situation that 1/3 of the stent remained in the guiding catheter might induce strong push-ability to make S-figure flection in the coronary artery. • When we feel hard resistance during insertion of a long stent, we should consider another option as the following earlier. Biplane fluoroscopy for detailed observation of the stent stack Buddy wire to change the wire bias Guide extension catheter to enhance back-up force and prevent the stent flection inside the coronary artery.
