Background. - Several randomized studies have shown that bioresorbable vascular scaffold scaffolds; (BVS) technology is associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis. Aim.- This study aimed to assess the rates of adverse outcomes at 1 year in patients treated with the Absorb BVS (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA), using data from a large nationwide prospective multicentre registry (FRANCE ABSORB). Methods. - All patients receiving the Absorb BVS in France were included prospectively in the study. Predilatation, optimal sizing and postdilatation were recommended systematically. The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization at 1 year. Secondary endpoints were scaffold thrombosis and target vessel revascularization at 1 year. Results. - A total of 2072 patients at 86 centres were included: mean age 55 +/- 11 years; 80% men. The indication was acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in 49% of cases. Predilatation and postdilatation were done in 93% and 83% of lesions, respectively. At 1 year, the primary endpoint occurred in 3.9% of patients, the rate of scaffold thrombosis was 1.5% and the rate of target vessel revascularization was 3.3%. In a multivariable analysis, diabetes and total Absorb BVS length > 30 mm were independently associated with the occurrence of the primary endpoint, whereas oral anticoagulation and total Absorb BVS length > 30 mm were independently associated with occurrence of scaffold thrombosis. Conclusions. - The Absorb BVS was implanted in a relatively young population, half of whom had ACS. Predilatation and postdilatation rates were high, and 1-year outcomes were acceptable.
