OCT image during the very late scaffold thrombosis (VLScT) event after a 2.0 mm preballoon dilatation up to 4 atm (a to g). The thrombus was observed at the same site where the peri-strut low intensity area (PLIA) had been previously observed, and the strut had been dismantled and was floating in the intraluminal area. (d to e) In the coronary angiogram during the VLScT event, a TIMI 0 flow was observed in the proximal part of the previous BVS (red dotted line). (h) Abbreviations: Dist., distal; Prox., proximal; Pre-, previous; MLA, minimal lumen area; LA, lumen area; D, diameter; SA, scaffold area; BVS, bioresorbable vascular scaffolds
