Excerpt

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been the imaging technique for detection of scaffold malapposition during implantation, the method of choice at follow up for assessing strut resorption and measurement of cap thickness overlying atherosclerotic plaques [1]. Bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) has the capability of sealing plaque by creating a neointimal cap [2]. Herewith, we present three cases from Absorb Cohort-B trial exhibiting the evolution of neointimal tissue overlying calcified plaques at 5-year post-implantation. The scaffolds were assessed on OCT after implantation, at 1-, 3- and 5-year follow ups. …
