Abstract

Metallic coronary stents have been developed to overcome acute complications after percutaneous coronary intervention. However, this durable implant is associated with complications in the long-term, such as stent fracture, re-stenosis and thrombosis. Hence, a coronary implant that will provide temporary support before being resorbed has been proposed as a valuable alternative and is currently under investigation. In this article, we report the one-year clinical outcome after implantation of the first bio-resorbable everolimuseluting vascular scaffold (BVS) performed at our institution.
