ObjectivesThe optimal side-branch ostium treatment after provisional side-branch scaffolding remains a subject of debate in bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) era. In this study we evaluated a novel optimized provisional T-stenting technique (OPT) and assessed its feasibility by comparison with T and small protrusion technique (TAP).MethodsTwo provisional SB scaffolding techniques (OPT, n= 5; TAP, n= 5) were performed in a bifurcated phantom using polymeric BVS. The sequential intermediate snuggling balloon dilation, also called ostial optimal technique, was added to OPT to dilate the side-branch ostium, but it was not added to TAP, with the final snuggling balloon dilation used for both procedures. Micro-computed tomography (microCT) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed to assess morphology, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was performed to assess hemodynamics in the scaffolded bifurcations.ResultsCompared to TAP, microCT analysis showed that OPT created shorter neo-carina length (0.34±0.10 mm vs. 1.02±0.26 mm, P< 0.01), longer valgus struts length (2.49±0.27 mm vs. 1.78±0.33 mm, P< 0.01) with larger MB ostial area (9.46±0.04 mm2 vs. 8.34±0.09 mm2, P< 0.01); OCT found that OPT significantly decreased the struts mal-apposition (13.20±0.16% vs. 1.94±0.54%, P< 0.01). CFD revealed that OPT generated more favorable flow pattern than that of TAP, as indicated by less percent (4.68±1.40% vs. 8.88±1.21%, P< 0.01) of low wall shear stress (< 0.4 Pa) along the lateral walls.ConclusionsUsing BVSs for bifurcation intervention, the sequential intermediate snuggling balloon dilation is feasible for optimizing ostial SB and facilitating subsequent SB scaffolding. Results showed OPT to be better than TAP for bifurcated morphology and hemodynamics.
