Summary BACKGROUND:Data regarding neoatherosclerosis after everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) (ABSORB BVS Rev. 1.1, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) implantation are limited.OBJECTIVES:This study investigated the findings of neoatherosclerosis at 5 years after BVS 1.1 implantation by using multi-imaging modalities, including optical coherence tomography (OCT).METHODS:Patients included in the ABSORB EXTEND (ABSORB EXTEND Clinical Investigation) trial at Shonan Kamakura General Hospital underwent OCT at baseline after the index procedure and at 1 and 5 years. Intimal plaque distributions in the in-scaffold and out-scaffold segments were analyzed.RESULTS:Twenty patients (22 lesions) with stable angina pectoris were enrolled. The median follow-up duration was 67 months (interquartile range: 65 to 69 months), and the mean age was 69 ± 8 years. Patients with diabetes mellitus (25%) were included. Based on the baseline angiogram, 10 (46%) lesions were type B2/C lesions. At 1 and 5 years of follow-up, significant differences in the prevalence of in-scaffold lipid-laden neointima (17% vs. 61%; p = 0.04), calcification (28% vs. 94%; p < 0.01), neovascularization (6% vs. 78%; p < 0.01), and thin-cap fibroatheroma (0% vs. 22%; p = 0.02) were found. In the out-scaffold segments, no significant difference in the plaque prevalence between 1 and 5 years was noted.CONCLUSIONS:The occurrence and progression of in-scaffold neoatherosclerosis with luminal narrowing was observed at 5 years after BVS 1.1 implantation. The small size of the current study warrants confirmation in larger study. (ABSORB EXTEND Clinical Investigation [ABSORB EXTEND]; NCT01023789).
