Comparison of Acute Recoil between Bioabsorbable Poly-L-lactic Acid XINSORB Stent and Metallic Stent in Porcine Model

Figure 3

IVUS assessment of acute stent recoil. CSA of distal, middle and proximal parts of XINSORB stent was similar to that for EXCEL immediately after implantation, so was that at 24-hour followup, suggesting no acute stent recoil or collapse during 24-hours followup for both two kinds of stent. IVUS: intravascular ultrasound; CSA: cross-sectional area.
