Percutaneous coronary intervention with Absorb biodegradable vascular scaffold in patients with left anterior descending artery disease

Aim. The article evaluates 30-day results of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with ABSORB biodegradable vascular scaffold (BVS) implanted in the case of stenosis of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery in patients with stable angina. Methods. 64 patients with significant (≥ 70%) LAD disease were included in the study. At 30 days, scaffold thrombosis and major adverse cardiovascular events (all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, target vessel revascularization) were evaluated. The indicator of successful percutaneous coronary intervention (residual stenosis
