This study aimed to evaluate the degradation rate and long-term vascular responses to drug-eluting absorbable metal scaffold; CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01168830; CONCLUSIONS: This serial analysis of drug-eluting absorbable metal scaffold confirmed the safety and efficacy of this new device, with vasomotion restoration and continued degradation over time demonstrated by multi-invasive imaging modalities; METHODS AND RESULTS: BIOSOLVE-I was a multicenter, single-arm, first-in-man trial assessing the safety and performance of drug-eluting absorbable metal scaffold in 46 patients with coronary artery disease. Patients who underwent serial invasive imaging, such as quantitative coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, and optical coherence tomography, at 6 and 12 months were included in this study. From postimplantation to follow-up, arterial curvature and angulation were significantly increased by the degradation process. The greatest increase was seen from postimplantation to 6 months. The systolic-diastolic 141111s of the curvature and angulation gradually improved throughout the follow-up period. At the site of implantation, vasoconstriction (-10% mean reduction) was observed during the acetylcholine test at 6 months. The average percent hyperechogenicity of the scaffolded segments showed a continuous decrease over time, with the most pronounced 141111s within the first 6 months (from 22.1+7.0% to 15.8+3.7%; P<0.001). Struts discernible on optical coherence tomography at 6 and 12 months showed full neointimal coverage, with stabilization of the mean scaffold area from 6 to 12 months. Furthermore, the mean neointimal area (1.55+0.51 versus 1.58+0.34 mm(2); P=0.794) remained un141111d from 6 to 12 months UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.113.000693 ER -
