A randomized comparison of the coronary vasomotor function and myocardial flow in patients treated with everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffolds and everolimus-eluting metallic stents.

CONCLUSIONS: BVS and EES had similar microcirculatory response to hyperemia and predominant vasoconstrictive response in the peri-scaffold segments to endothelial-dependent stimuli. However, BVS exhibited larger vasoconstriction to endothelial-dependent stimuli in the scaffold segment. PMID: 31217148 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
