Journal ArticleDOI

Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold Thrombosis: Multicenter Comprehensive Analysis of Clinical Presentation, Mechanisms, and Predictors.

TL;DR: The 12-month incidence of ScT reached 3% and could be significantly reduced when an optimized implantation strategy was employed, an effect that remained significant when adjusted for multivariable propensity score.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coronary evaginations and peri-scaffold aneurysms following implantation of bioresorbable scaffolds: incidence, outcome, and optical coherence tomography analysis of possible mechanisms

TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography-detected evaginations are relatively common after BVS implantation, but, as for modern drug-eluting metallic stents, major evagination are very rare.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds Thrombosis

TL;DR: The mechanisms of early ScT seem to be similar to metallic stents (mechanical and inadequate antiplatelet therapy) and the predominant finding in late and very late ScT is peristrut low-intensity area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical, Angiographic, Functional, and Imaging Outcomes 12 Months After Implantation of Drug-Eluting Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds in Acute Coronary Syndromes.

TL;DR: Twelve months after BVS implantation, clinical, intracoronary imaging, and vasomotion data appear to provide a rationale for the use of BVS in the setting of ACS and the basis for a randomized study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characteristics, Predictors, and Mechanisms of Thrombosis in Coronary Bioresorbable Scaffolds: Differences Between Early and Late Events.

TL;DR: Different mechanisms underlie early and late ScT: although incomplete BRS deployment was a predictor of the former, the latter was associated with large vessel size and BRS undersizing, which is significantly less frequent with an optimized implantation technique.
