Technique: The Absorb BVS is a balloon-expandable, poly-l-lactide structure covered in a poly-d,l-lactide bioresorbable polymer that contains the antiproliferative drug everolimus. As a polymeric structure, it has a number of unique physical, handling, and imaging properties that may differ from metallic stents and pose a challenge to the interventionist. Attention must be paid to lesion selection, preparation, scaffold sizing, deployment, and postdilation to achieve optimal outcomes. A detailed description of these issues and deployment techniques is offered based on experience using this BVS in below-the-knee arteries. Conclusion: The Absorb BVS may have application in the infrapopliteal circulation; however, its unique properties warrant careful consideration before use in the lower limb.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1526602817698935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,20]],"date-time":"2017-03-20T08:14:36Z","timestamp":1489997676000},"page":"337-341","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Lessons Learned Regarding Handling and Deployment of the Absorb Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold in Infrapopliteal Arteries"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Ramon L.","family":"Varcoe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney, Australia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia"},{"name":"The Vascular Institute, Prince of Wales, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shannon D.","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney, Australia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia"},{"name":"The Vascular Institute, Prince of Wales, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard J.","family":"Rapoza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven","family":"Kum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Service, Department of Surgery, Changi General Hospital, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/eht542"},{"key":"bibr2-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2015.11.060"},{"key":"bibr3-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4244\/EIJV9I11A217"},{"key":"bibr4-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcin.2016.06.005"},{"key":"bibr5-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1526602815575256"},{"key":"bibr6-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ccd.25569"},{"key":"bibr7-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2015.12.019"},{"key":"bibr8-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4244\/EIJY15M01_05"},{"key":"bibr9-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.110.970772"},{"key":"bibr10-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.113.000990"},{"key":"bibr11-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ccd.26811"},{"key":"bibr12-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1509038"},{"key":"bibr13-1526602817698935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcin.2012.12.131"}],"container-title":["Journal of Endovascular Therapy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1526602817698935","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/1526602817698935","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1526602817698935","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T21:32:05Z","timestamp":1777498325000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1526602817698935"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,20]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1526602817698935"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1526602817698935","relation":{},"ISSN":["1526-6028","1545-1550"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1526-6028","type":"print"},{"value":"1545-1550","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,20]]}}}
