SESSION 4: BRS for Bifurcation Stenting: After Thrombosis Crisis

Bifurcation techniques with magmaris and newer BRS, bench testing to clinical application

Author:Niels Ramsing Holm, Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby, Denmark

 

BACKGROUND

  • The Absorb polymeric BRS has increased rates of scaffold thrombosis compared with durable •metallic DES
  • Magnesium has mechanical properties better than polymers and is anti-thrombotic compared with Absorb
  • This study compared mechanical properties of the Magmaris (magnesium) scaffold with polymeric scaffolds and a second generation metallic stent

SUMMARY

  • Magnesium has mechanical properties better than polymers and is anti-thrombotic compared with Absorb
  • The Magmaris has thinner, narrower and more rounded struts than Absorb and wall coverage (footprint) is less
  • With post-dilatation, Magmaris is more resistant to fracture than Absorb but less resistant than DESolve and metallic durable DES
  • The Magmaris crossing profile is similar to Absorb but larger than metallic durable DES
