OBJECTIVES: We aimed at comparing the acute performance of bioresorbable scaffolds ( @entity4375 ) and second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) for the treatment of @entity432 ( @entity432 ). BACKGROUND: There is a lack of knowledge regarding the use of @entity4375 in @entity432 . METHODS: Key outcomes of interest were technical and procedural success. Technical success was defined as successful stent delivery and implantation, postprocedural residual diameter stenosis <30% within the treated segment, and restoration of thrombolysis in @entity583 (TIMI) grade 3 flow. Procedural success was defined as technical success with no in-hospital major adverse @entity299 (MACE). RESULTS: Between May 2013 and May 2014, 32 @entity1 underwent @entity432 percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the Absorb @entity4375 (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA) and were compared with a historical control group of 54 @entity1 who had undergone @entity432 PCI with second-generation DES. Baseline characteristics were similar between the @entity4375 and DES groups, with the exception of a larger mean reference vessel diameter in the @entity4375 group (2.92      0.34 vs 2.50      0.68; P  <  0.001). Technical success was less likely to be achieved in the @entity4375 group compared with the DES group (78.1% vs 96.3%, P  =  0.012). Procedural success rates were 78.1% and 94.4% in the @entity4375 and DES group, respectively (P   =   0.035). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with second-generation DES for PCI of @entity432 lesions, @entity4375 were associated with lower rates of technical and procedural success.    2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
