Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Quantification of the free vessel lumen in the BVS in 3D MR image data (0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after implantation)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Measurement of the vessel wall dimensions and the plaque size in high-resolution MR images to observe the dissolution process of the BVS, the absorption kinetic and the plaque regression (0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after implantation)	—
