CRT-600 Malapposition, Underexpansion and Edge Dissection in Bioabsorbable Vascular Scaffolds (Absorb™) and Xience™ Stents - A Comparison Based on Optical Coherence Tomography

In addition to lesion characteristics, post-stenting. Depend on characteristics of the stent and on the inflating pressure of the stent balloon or post-dilation balloon. The biodegradable ABSORB™ scaffold has a greater flexibility (lower maximum compressive load required to deflect the device)
