An observational study of clinical outcomes of everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffolds comparing the procedural use of optical coherence tomography against angiography alone

Coronary Artery Disease Aug 10, 2018

Hamshere S, et al. - Whether intracoronary imaging improves outcomes in patients after bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) implantation was investigated among all patients who had percutaneous coronary intervention using BVS at a single center between June 2013 and June 2016. The intervention was performed conventionally, including predilatation, postdilatation and intracoronary assessment with optical coherence tomography (OCT) according to operator’s preferences. They recommended that, in order to appropriately evaluate for stent malapposition and attenuate the subsequent risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, intracoronary OCT be performed in all patients after BVS stents are inserted by inexperienced operators because visual assessment with angiography displayed poor specificity in detecting strut malapposition.
