Aims: The ABSORB Cohort A clinical study has shown the feasibility and safety of the fully bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting structure (BVS, revision 1.0). However, the study also demonstrated somewhat higher acute and late recoil with the BVS structure compared to metallic drug eluting stents. Based on these clinical observations, modifications to the stent design (BVS, revision 1.1) were introduced for the ABSORB Cohort B study in order to decrease recoil. The aim was to compare in vivo the strut distribution between the BVS revision 1.0 (Cohort A), and BVS revision 1.1 (Cohort B) designs.Methods and results: OCT analysis was performed by two independent analysts in four patients from each cohort of the ABSORB study. Strut distribution was assessed in cross-section, and longitudinally in a frame-by-frame analysis. Variables recorded included inter-strut angle, maximum inter-strut angle and number of frames with
