Background: In order to advocate further research in bioresorbable scaffold (BVS) technology we report the final 5-year outcomes of the COBRA II study, the only randomized controlled trial (RCT) performed to investigate the safety, feasibility, and performance of Absorb BVS (Abbott Vascular) in true coronary bifurcations.
Methods: COBRA II was a prospective single-center RCT. Fifteen patients with true coronary bifurcation lesions were randomized to bifurcation treatment with self-expanding biolimus-eluting Axxess bifurcation device (Biosensors International) combined with additional bioresorbable everolimus-eluting Absorb BVS in the bifurcation branches on (Axxess group) or to 2-stent mod-T stenting technique with Absorb BVS (mod-T group).

Background: Previous trials suggested the superiority of ultrathin- over thin-strut drug-eluting stents (DES) concerning target lesion failure (TLF) at 1 year after index percutaneous coronary intervention.
Objectives: The aim of this randomized comparison study of ultrathin-strut and thin-strut DES (CASTLE [Randomized Comparison All-Comer Study of Ultrathin Strut and Thin Strut Drug-Eluting Stent]; jRCTs032180084) was to examine the impact of differences in strut thickness of DES on clinical outcomes when implanted with angiography and intravascular ultrasound or optical coherence tomographic guidance.
Methods: CASTLE was a multicenter, prospective, noninferiority study conducted at 65 institutions in Japan.

Objective: The SYNTAX trial was designed to evaluate whether multivessel disease patients could benefit from percutaneous or surgical revascularization using a paclitaxel eluting stents, but after the introduction of second generation stents, this score needs to be reevaluated. The aim of our study was to analyze the association between SYNTAX score and the prognosis of multivessel patients submitted to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and second generation everolimus eluting stents (EES) implantation.
Materials And Methods: Data on 289 patients with multivessel coronary artery disease submitted to PCI with EES were stored in a dedicated database and retrospectively analyzed.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stents (BP-SES) compared with durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stents (DP-EES) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an effective treatment for patients with STEMI, and long-term outcomes are determined by the safety and efficacy profile of the newest generation drug-eluting stents.
Methods: BIOSTEMI (A Comparison of an Ultrathin Strut Biodegradable Polymer Sirolimus-Eluting Stent With a Durable Polymer Everolimus-Eluting Stent for Patients With Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) was an investigator-initiated, multicenter, assessor-blind, randomized superiority trial using Bayesian methods.

Department of Cardiology, Maasstad Hospital, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate clinical outcomes of patients at high risk of restenosis after implantation of a bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS).
Methods And Results: The COMPARE-ABSORB trial was an investigator-initiated, prospective randomised study. Patients at high risk of restenosis were randomly assigned to receive either a BVS or an everolimus-eluting stent (EES).
