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

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
