CRT-500.04 The Absorb Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Demonstrates Low Wall Shear Stress and High Eccentricity Index: Hemodynamic Insights From the ABSORB III Imaging Study

The Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) demonstrated higher rates of target lesion failure (TLF) at 3 years. Low wall shear stress (WSS) promotes several mechanisms related to device TLF. We aimed to investigate the mechanisms of higher event rates with BVS. We hypothesized that deployed
