Appropriate patient selection is crucial to achieve procedural success. Freesolve is currently indicated for de novo lesions, with a reference vessel diameter and lesion length closely matching the available Freesolve sizes. Each individual patient should receive best clinical care and should benefit from BRS Technology.
If uncertain about the vessel diameter, use QCA, IVUS and/or OCT for quantitative lesion evaluation. The diameters available are 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 mm, do not implant into vessels <2.5 mm or >4.2 mm in diameter. Angiogram generally underestimates the diameter of the vessel by 0.25 mm.
Pre-dilatation with a non-compliant balloon with a 1:1 balloon-to-artery ratio is mandatory. The balloon should expand fully. The residual stenosis before the Freesolve implantation is recommended to be less than 20 %. If the pre-dilatation goal is not achieved, use other balloon technologies such as scoring balloons.
Post-dilatation with a non-compliant balloon 0.5 mm larger than the implanted scaffold expanded at high pressure (> 16 atm) is recommended. Please keep in mind that the Freesolve expansion limit is 0.6 mm beyond nominal scaffold size. During the learning phase, OCT is helpful to check for vessel and lumen dimensions, lesion length and struts’ malapposition.
