CONCLUSION
As expected from in silico studies, we found higher ESS in the Mirage BRMS which has thinner ovoid struts and helical coil design compared to the Absorb BVS. Helical coil designed thinner ovoid-shaped struts appear to cause less flow disturbances than the design of zig-zag hoops with thick rectangular-shaped struts.
