Key Words Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds; Scaffold dismantling; Scaffold thrombosis
Core Tip We describe a case of a 53-year-old male patient who was admitted with anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction 28 mo after elective percutaneous revascularization of a chronically occluded left anterior descending (LAD) threated with 4 bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) in order to seal a long flow limiting dissection after sub-intimal tracking and re-entry technique. Coronary angiography showed a large thrombus at the proximal segment of the proximal BVS and a long dissection was evident from mid to distal LAD. In this case, the progressive reduction of both scaffolds radial strength and structure dismantling might have been responsible for both intraluminal thrombosis and reoccurrence of vessel dissection.
