ABSORB Biodegradable Stents vs. DES with OCT Guidance Figure 1. Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of OCT Characteristics A. An example of incomplete strut apposition (ISA). There are 4 malapposed struts between 10 and 12 o'clock position in A1 B. Tissue prolapse. In the presence of tissue prolapse, defined as tissue protruding between the struts, the prolapse area was measured as the difference between the stent and lumen area (highlighted in green in B2). C.

Conclusions Coronary Vessel Preparation may have implications on acute procedural and post procedural outcomes Coronary Calcification portends worse outcomes Poor Stent expansion is directly related to increased rates of thrombosis and restenosis Unclear correlation between coronary vessel preparation and peripheral arterial vessel preparation Proponents of Vessel Prep site DEFINITIVE AR and look towards REALITY and DEB trials
