Noninvasive coronary computed tomography angiography has shown to be an accurate method for the exclusion of significant coronary artery stenosis, with negative predictive values of 97%-99% [1,2]. However, in patients previously treated with percutaneous coronary interventions, the artifact from the metallic stent precludes appropriate luminal assessment [3]. In contrast, the bioresorbable vascular scaffold (ABSORB, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA) has a translucent polymeric backbone that allows for noninvasive coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) [4].
