Description
Background
Metal absorbable scaffolds constitute a conceptually attractive alternative to metallic stents or polymeric scaffolds in complex bifurcation lesions. This acute animal study sought to provide insights regarding the feasibility of performing complex bifurcation stenting with Magmaris bioresorbable magnesium-alloy scaffold (Biotronik AG, Bülach, Switzerland).
Methods
Twenty-five New Zealand White rabbits underwent stenting of non-diseased aorto-iliac bifurcations with Magmaris using provisional (PS, n= 5), culotte (n= 6), modified-T (n= 6), or T-and-protrusion (TAP, n= 8) stenting techniques. Angiography, optical coherence tomography and micro-computed tomography were performed to assess the result.
Results
45 Magmaris were successfully delivered and implanted in 25 rabbits without complication, and with procedural success of 100%. In all bifurcation procedures (n= 25), the angiographic results were …
