The two year outcomes of ABSORB III, presented at the scientific sessions of the American College of Cardiology 2017, have shown the bioresorbable scaffold Absorb GT1 (BVS, Abbott Vascular) was associated with increased risk of target vessel failure, compared against the everolimus eluting stent Xience. At 25 months, target vessel failure occurred in 11%...
This work reports one year outcomes of the BVS Expand registry. Multiple studies have shown the safety and feasibility of the everolimus eluting bioresorbable scaffold ABSORB (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California), but medium and long term data are limited and only on simple lesions. This is a prospective single-center registry assessing ABSORB performance in...
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...
