Successful retrograde recanalization of chronic total coronary occlusion with multiple bioresorbable vascular scaffolds ('full polymer jacket'): initial experience and rationale.

We report a successful retrograde recanalization of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) in the right coronary artery ( Panel A ) of a 58-year-old male and the implantation of four everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS, Absorb, Abbot Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA), which we named ‘full polymer jacket’. Excellent angiographic ( Panel B ) and optical coherence tomography (OCT, LUNAWAVE, …
