Abstract

Systematic randomized clinical outcome data in BVS has largely been reported in straightforward lesions, and BVS performance in more complex anatomy is not well defined In this study, OCT-analysis of imaging outcomes in lesions with variable degrees of calcification demonstrated similar acute performance between second-generation DES and BVS Open questions as to the unintended effect of OCT-guidance on the results of the study as well as the longer-term clinical outcomes in these lesions remain.
