Optimal Predilatation Treatment Before Implantation of a Magmaris Bioresorbable Scaffold in Coronary Artery Stenosis: The OPTIMIS Trial

Circ Cardiovasc IntervPublished randomized

Authors' conclusion

Lesion preparation with a scoring balloon before implantation of a Magmaris BRS resulted in a significantly larger minimal lumen area after 6 months due to less negative remodeling compared with lesion preparation with a standard noncompliant balloon.
