Abstract

Incomplete stent apposition (ISA) is proven to increase thrombotic risk, particularly late stent thrombosis of a drug-eluting stent. Less is known about ISA and bioresorbable scaffold (BRS). We describe the coronary angiogram and optical coherence tomography (OCT) changes at one year in a patient with ISA of Magmaris BRS, in the context of coronary artery disease without acute coronary syndrome. In this particular case, the OCT demonstrated a very good result with complete stent resorption, suggesting that the rapid BRS kinetics resorption could lessen the risk of complications attributed to ISA.
