Clinical Information

S.S

Relevant Clinical History and Physical Exam

Case1: 82 years old female with ACS. Mid-LCx was culprit.Case2: 83 years old female with ACS. LAD prox and mid were culprit.Case3: 81 years old male with ACS. LAD ostial and mid were culprit with severe calcification.


Relevant Test Results Prior to Catheterization

Relevant Catheterization Findings

Case1: CAG showed #13 90%.Case2: CAG showed #6-7 99%.Case3: CAG showed #6os 90%, #7 90%.


Interventional Management

Procedural Step

Case1:  Mid-LCx was culprit and well treated by BioFreedom ULTRA2.5/14. OCT assessed this stent after 11 days and showed that percentage of uncovered stentstrut and malapposed stent strut was 20.6% and 1.6%, respectively.
Case2:  LAD prox and mid were culprit. Proximal lesion and mid lesion was fixed by BioFreedom ULTRA3.5/26 and 2.5/22 respectively. OCT assessed this stent after 14 days and showed that percentage of covered stent strut and malapposed stent strut was lower in BioFreedom ULTRA (29.5% vs 41.7% and 2.4% vs 8.9%, respectively).
Case3:  LAD ostial and mid were culprit with severe calcification and treated by Rotablator. Proximal lesion and mid lesion was fixed by Combo plus3.5/18 and BioFreedom ULTRA3.0/14, respectively. OCT assessed this stent after 10 days and showed that percentage of covered stent strut and malapposed stent strut was lower in BioFreedom ULTRA (33.9% vs 3.0% and 1.7% vs 12.6%, respectively).


Case Summary

New drug coating stent, BioFreedom ULTRA, could have potential of earlier vascular heeling response due to thinner stent and polymer-free drug delivery system, which could also contribute to ACS with HBR patient.
