Endothelial shear stress 5 years after implantation of a coronary bioresorbable scaffold
Authors' conclusion
Immediately after scaffold implantation, coronary arteries demonstrate an alternans of extremely low and high ESS values and localized areas of high blood viscosity.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with coronary bioresorbable scaffold implantation and serial assessment at baseline and 5 years
- Participants
- 7 lesions
- Comparison
- Baseline vs 5 years after bioresorbable scaffold implantation
- Outcome
- Haemodynamic changes over 5 years
- Follow-up
- 5 years
Methodological detailsserial computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations, OCT–angiography fusion
- Serial CFD simulations
- OCT–angiography fusion
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Positive correlation between baseline endothelial shear stress (ESS) and change in lumen area at 5 years
- P < 0.0001
