Authors' conclusion

At 5-year follow-up, target lesion failure and stent thrombosis rates were comparable after NeoVas BRS and CoCr EES implantation in noncomplex lesions.

Study context

Population

Participants
560 patients
Comparison
NeoVas bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) vs CoCr everolimus-eluting stents (EES)
Primary endpoint
Target lesion failure
Follow-up
5 years
