Abstract

The analysis of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRSs) by optical coherence tomography (OCT) requires a dedicated methodology, as the polymeric scaffold has a distinct appearance and undergoes dynamic structural changes with time. The high resolution of OCT allows for the detailed assessment of scaffold implantation, rupture, discontinuity, and strut integration. OCT does not provide reliable information on the extent of scaffold degradation, as it cannot differentiate between polylactide polymer and the provisional matrix of proteoglycan formed by connective tissue. Three-dimensional OCT reconstruction can aid in the evaluation of BRS in special scenarios such as overlapping scaffold segments and bifurcations.
