Mechanisms of Very Late Bioresorbable Scaffold Thrombosis

Very late scaffold thrombosis (VLScT) occurs more frequently after bioresorbable scaffold (Absorb BVS 1.1, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) implantation than with metallic everolimus-eluting stents.The purpose of this study was to elucidate mechanisms underlying VLScT as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT).The INVEST (Independent OCT Registry on Very Late Bioresorbable Scaffold Thrombosis) registry is an international...
