Predictors of Long-term Adverse Events After Absorb Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Implantation

Aim of the paper is to investigate the predictors of long-term adverse clinical events after implantation of the everolimus-eluting Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS).

Optimal Absorb BVS implantation and the use of intravascular imaging guidance were associated to lower rates of adverse events at long-term follow-up.
