Characteristics, Predictors, and Mechanisms of Thrombosis in Coronary Bioresorbable Scaffolds: Differences Between Early and Late Events

Conclusions Different mechanisms underlie early and late ScT: although incomplete BRS deployment was a predictor of the former, the latter was associated with large vessel size and BRS undersizing. However, both phenomena are significantly less frequent with an optimized implantation technique. (Mainz Intracoronary Database.
