Magmaris Bench Evaluation EBC 2018
Author: Niels Ramsing Holm, Arhus University Hospital, Arhus, Denmark
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
