Abstract
Angiography at 60 months post implantation of an Absorb 1.0 bioresorbable vascular scaffold (Abbott Vascular) revealed a total occlusion at the distal scaffold. Within the proximal edge, optical coherence tomography showed complete absorption of stent struts with a decreased mean scaffold area and diameter.
