TCT-168 TIcaGrEloR and ABSORB Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold implantation for recovery of vascular function after successful Chronic Total Occlusion recanalization

Coronary vascular function of a chronic coronary total occlusion (CTO) immediately after recanalization is demonstrated to be poor. We aim to explore role of Ticagrelor vs. Clopidogrel in improving vascular function in this context. The TIGER BVS is a prospective, double-randomized, open-label, two
