Coronary magnetic resonance imaging after routine implantation of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds allows non-invasive evaluation of vascular patency
Fig 3
Coronary angiogram and MRI from a patient with two BVS-implantations in the right coronary artery (RCA).
Baseline MRI with maximum intensity projection confirms the open scaffold. After 340 days, two weeks before the scheduled 1 year follow-up, the patient presented with atypical chest pain. MRI shows open scaffolds with some artefacts in the coronary segment in between. Coronary angiogram confirmed a good angiographic result.
