The Magmaris BRS was more resistant to strut fracture than Absorb. It had a larger crossing profile than other devices and similar radial and longitudinal strengths to Absorb. While recoil after deployment was greater with Magmaris, 120 min after 3.5 mm postdilatation all devices had similar diameters.
