Bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) are promising devices for the treatment of coronary artery disease by virtue of their resorption properties allowing positive vascular remodeling.1,2 This case report illustrates the vascular healing process after Absorb BRS (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA) implantation in a false lumen during the treatment of a chronic total occlusion.A 62-year-old male with stable angina underwent coronary angiography revealing a chronic total occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. Percutaneous coronary intervention was …
