<h4>Background</h4>Third-generation stents with abluminal biodegradable polymer (BP) might facilitate early healing. Therefore, we compared early healing between second-generation and third-generation stents using coronary angioscopy (CAS) and optical frequency domain imaging [OFDI].<h4>Methods</h4>We prospectively enrolled 30 consecutive patients with stent implantation for acute coronary syndrome (cobalt‑chromium [CoCr] everolimus-eluting stent [EES] [n = 10], BP-EES [n = 10], and BP-sirolimus ...[more]
