Carotid in-stent restenosis is associated with substantial risk of recurrent restenosis, even after drug-eluting balloon usage.
We hereby report the case of a patient with recurrent carotid in-stent restenosis and drug-eluting balloon failure treated with a coronary bioresorbable vascular scaffold, achieving a satisfactory acute and long-term result, as disclosed by duplex ultrasound scan performed more than 1 year after the procedure.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: While awaiting for external validation, this clinical vignette supports expanding the armamentarium of endovascular specialists focusing on carotid artery disease, while providing further proof of the safety and efficacy of current bioresorbable vascular scaffolds.
即使使用了药物洗脱球囊,颈动脉支架内再狭窄仍与较高的再狭窄复发风险相关。
我们在此报告一例复发性颈动脉支架内再狭窄且药物洗脱球囊治疗失败的患者,采用冠状动脉生物可吸收血管支架治疗后,经术后1年多的双功超声扫描显示,取得了满意的近期和长期效果。
讨论/结论:在等待外部验证的同时,该临床病例支持扩大专注于颈动脉疾病的血管介入专家的器械库,同时进一步证明了当前生物可吸收血管支架的安全性和有效性。
