Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds in Anomalous and Tortuous Vessels Treated by Radial Approach

09/07/2015

We present two cases of complex anatomies treated using radial access where we have successfully deployed a bioresorbable vascular scaffold with a good outcome.

We present two cases of complex...

ABSORB III and IV: Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of the Absorb Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold

01/13/2015

James B. Hermiller , MD, FACC, FSCAI;

With the Absorb BVS, by a year, there is a loss of some of the radial strength. By two years, we start to see loss of the scaffold itself, meaning the mass and structure of the device, and by three to three and a half years, the BVS is gone.

With the Absorb BVS, by a year,...

"Magic" Bioabsorbable Metal Stents: The Role of the "Houdini Stent" in the Disappearance of CLI

09/05/2008

David E. Allie , MD;

Is this technology “hocus-pocus,” or the real thing, as we are certainly in great need of weapons to fight the war against critical limb ischemia (CLI).

Is this technology...
