DESolve I FIM: Evaluation of a FIM trial results of a bioabsorbable stent (15 patients).
This trial is a prospective evaluation of DESolveTM bioabsorbable coronary stent implantation in a 15 patient cohort enrolled in New Zealand and Belgium. At 6 months follow up, late lumen loss was 0,19 mm, binary restenosis was 0% and thrombosis was absent. OCT evaluation showed excellent stent apposition, and 98% of evaluated struts were covered...
PRAGUE 19: bioabsorbable platform for patients with ST segment elevation
Absorbable bioplatforms are considered safe and effective in stable patients but their use in the context of acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation has not been reported. Low risk of heart attack with low Killip classification could be the stage for this device. 87 consecutive patients experiencing myocardial infarction with ST elevation underwent primary...
POLAR ACS: bio-absorbable platform in acute coronary syndromes
Bio-absorbable devices are considered safe and effective for stable patients but there is still little information regarding their use in acute patients. ACS POLAR Register (POLishAbsorb Registry for ACS Patients) is a multicenter study which included 88 patients undergoing acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation who received a bio-absorbable platform. The aim of the study...
DESolveNx trial: Results of the new bioabsorbable platform
This new device consists of a novolimus releasing bioabsorbable polylactic acid platform that in vitro studies has shown equivalence to a Cypher stent. This device, also in vitro , showed a degradation time of one year and safety during post expansion, reaching 4.8 mm without fracturing. This is the first human trial and follow-up with...

ABSORB EXTEND trial: preliminary report of clinical outcomes at 12 months in the first 512 patients
Original title: The ABSORB EXTEND Study: preliminary report of the twelve-month clinical outcomes in the first 512 patients enrolled. Reference: Alexandre Abizaid et al. EuroIntervention 2015;10:1396-1401. The safety and efficacy of the Absorb Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (Absorb BVS) has been previously shown in 131 patients of the ABSORB trial cohorts A and B. Following this trial, the prospective...
