First experience of implantation of a new-generation bioresorbable stent in a young patient with coronary artery disease: a case report
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Implantation of a drug-eluting stent into the area of hemodynamically significant coronary artery lesion is a generally accepted and widespread method of coronary artery disease (CAD) treatment. However, rigid metallic frame in artery is associated with disrupted vascular biomechanics and neointimal proliferation in response to foreign material. These processes can lead to restenosis and/or late thrombosis of the implanted stent and, as a consequence, to the recurrence of CAD symptoms, as well as to adverse cardiovascular events. One of the options for solving the above problems is the implantation of bioresorbable stents. This technique already has an evidence base and is increasingly being introduced into routine clinical practice in certain groups of patients. The article presents a case of successful balloon angioplasty and stenting of the right coronary artery with a new-generation bioresorbable stent in a young patient with CAD.
