Brief summary
Evaluation of coronary artery vessel wall healing at different time points in patients undergoing implantion of bioresorbable vascular scaffold by using intravascular imaging. In addition long-term clinical follow-ups are planned for all patients treated with Absorb in the institution
Detailed description
OCT-guided evalutation of the coronary vessel wall, endovascular healing and bioresorbable vascular scaffolds at different time points. These results will be analysed in terms of clinical presentation, gender and age.
