Magmaris Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold Implantation Assisted by Optical Coherence Tomography to Treat an Acute Coronary Dissection After a Blunt Chest Trauma

J Invasive Cardiol. 2019 Jul;31(7):E226.

Abstract

The treatment of coronary lesions caused by blunt chest trauma is controversial. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a coronary dissection related to blunt chest trauma evaluated with OCT and treated with a magnesium resorbable scaffold.

Keywords: bioresorbable vascular scaffold; blunt chest trauma; coronary dissection; optical coherence tomography.
