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.
