#Fact 1. Despite a larger profile (ABSORB: 1.4mm, vs.
Xience 1.1mm), device success was 99.2% in B1/B2
lesions (98.3%).
In registries (e.g. ABSORB Expand), the device success
was 98.2% in complex lesions

#Fact 2. Acute gain was reduced on QCA (ABSORB:
1.15mm vs. Xience: 1.46mm) and Q-IVUS (ABSORB:
2.9mm2 vs. Xience: 3.6mm2).
#Comment:
• Guidance on angiography for sizing and expansion.
• Angiography underestimate the luminal dimension
• Intravascular imaging for sizing and expansion might
have implication for FDA labeling.
Operator’s behavior
• Limited expansion of device
• Fear of scaffold disruption
• Use of a smaller postdilatation
balloon at a lower pressure
Reduced acute gain
Preparation strategy
• Protocol did not allow use
of adjunctive device
Acute recoil
• Not an issue

Large Uncorrectable Malapposition

Post Proc
Dilemma: The vessel size is >4.0mm, while the
device size is 3.0mm…The operator is aware of
ISA, but considering the expansion limit of 3.5mm,
the operator cannot correct malapposition by
postdilatation.

#Fact 4. Cardiac biomarker rise < 48 hours after the
index procedure and per-protocol peri-procedural MI did
not differ between the two arms.
When the cardiac biomarker rise was subcategorized
according to contemporary PMI criteria such as the 3rd
universal definition and the SCAI definition, PMI rates
were:
•
•
•
•
5·2% vs. 2·5% (CKMB >5x ULN)
32·0% vs. 26·9% (troponin >5x ULN, 3rd Universal)
0·6% vs. 0·6% (CKMB >10x ULN, SCAI)
4·6 % vs. 1·9 % (troponin >70x ULN, SCAI)
These results strongly emphasize the arbitrary
character of any definition of PMI.
