RESUMO
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Local hemodynamic forces such as endothelial shear stress (ESS) may have an influence on appropriate neointimal healing, vessel remodeling, and struts absorption process following second-generation drug-eluting resorbable magnesium scaffold (RMS, Magmaris, Biotronik AG, Buelach, Switzerland) placement. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of ESS assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT)- based computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations on absorption process and coronary lumen dimension after Magmaris implantation. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 22 patients who were enrolled in the BIOSOLVE-II trial and underwent serial OCT assessment immediately after Magmaris implantation and at 6- and 12-month follow-up were included. We evaluated qualitative OCT findings frame by frame, and CFD simulations were performed to calculate the ESS at 3-dimensional (3D) reconstructed arteries. For quantitative calculation, the average ESS within each 1-mm section was classified into three groups: low (2.5 Pa). A significant difference of percentage remnants of scaffold was observed among the 3 groups at 12-month follow-up (P = 0.001) but not at 6-month follow-up. Low-ESS segment at baseline resulted in a greater lumen change of −1.857 ± 1.902 mm2 at 1 year compared to −1.277 ± 1.562 mm2 in the intermediate-ESS segment (P = 0.017) and − 0.709 ± 1.213 mm2 in the high-ESS segment (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: After Magmaris implantation, the presence of higher ESS might be associated with slower strut absorption process but less luminal loss. SUMMARY FOR TABLE OF CONTENTS: The authors analyzed 22 patients from the BIOSOLVE-II trial who underwent optical coherence tomography assessment immediately after receiving a Magmaris second-generation drug-eluting resorbable magnesium scaffold. The analysis found that after Magmaris implantation, the presence of higher endothelial shear stress (ESS) might be associated with slower strut absorption process but less luminal loss. This study is the first demonstrating the impact of ESS assessed by OCT on absorption process and coronary lumen dimension after Magmaris implantation.

Background The aim of this study was to compare the 12-month clinical outcomes of patients treated with Magmaris or Orsiro. Second generation drug-eluting absorbable metal scaffold Magmaris (Dreams 2G) has proved to be safe and effective in the BIOSOLVE-II study. Similarly, biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent, Orsiro has shown notable clinical results even in all-comer populations. Methods Magmaris group patients were taken from the BIOSOLVE-II and BIOSOLVE-III trials, while the patients from Orsiro group were enrolled in BIOFLOW-II trial. The primary outcome was explored using a time-to-event assessment of the unadjusted clinical outcomes for target lesion failure (TLF) at 12â¯months, followed by a multivariate analysis adjusting for all the significantly different covariates between the groups. Results The study population consisted of 482 patients (521 lesions), 184 patients (189 lesions) in Magmaris group and 298 patients (332 lesions) in Orsiro group. The mean age was 65.5⯱â¯10.8 and 62.7⯱â¯10.4â¯years in Magmaris and Orsiro groups, respectively ( pâ¯=â¯0.005). Magmaris and Orsiro unadjusted TLF rates were 6.0 and 6.4% with no significant difference between the groups ( pâ¯=â¯0.869). In the multivariate analysis, there were no meaningful differences between Magmaris and Orsiro groups. Finally, none of the groups presented device thrombosis cases at 12â¯months. Conclusion At 12â¯months there were no significant differences between Magmaris and Orsiro groups neither in the unadjusted assessment nor in the multivariate analysis for target lesion failure. These results should be taken as hypothesis generating and may warrant a head to head comparison on a randomized fashion.
