Absorb Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold is Associated with Low Wall Shear Stress Compared to Xience V: A Biomechanical Analysis of the Absorb III Imaging Study.

CONCLUSIONS: In this randomized controlled study, the Absorb BVS was 4.8 times more likely than the XV metallic stent to demonstrate low WSS. BVS implantation, lower blood velocity and lower residual post stent plaque burden were independently associated with greater area of low WSS. PMID: 32091401 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
